How to Build DIY Kitchen Drawers in a VAN Conversion | Soft close, fully custom | Part 1

Описание: EPISODE 9 Building a Van? Here’s a step-by-step video on how we built fully custom, soft-close kitchen drawers for our DIY camper build. From choosing the right plywood, to the tools we used, we showed exactly how we connected the ply together, installed the drawer runners, and tackled all the unexpected issues that came up along the way.
Whether you're building a van, truck camper, or tiny home kitchen — this one's for you.

🛠️ In Part 1, we cover:
The type of plywood we used (and why)
Must-have tools for the job
How we joined and sealed the wood
Installing soft-close drawer runners
All the challenges we ran into and how we fixed them


🎥 Part 2 coming soon: We'll add drawer facings, build 3 more drawers (making them perfectly flush), and explore multiple latch options for off-road travel.
