Cut the bottom piece for each tray from 3⁄4" plywood 11⁄2" smaller than the planned width and depth of the finished tray. Rip three 3⁄4" -wide pieces for the sides, front, and back of each tray. Cut the side pieces to
length, equal to the depth dimension of the bottom piece. Cut the front and back pieces 11⁄2" longer than the width of the bottom.
Build the trays with glue and 6d finish nails or pneumatic brads. Fasten the sides flush with the bottom face and front and back edges of the bottom piece, and then add the front and back pieces. Sand any rough surfaces, and finish the trays with two or three coats of polyurethane or other durable varnish. If desired, you can stain the trays prior to finishing so they match your cabinets.
Partially mount the drawer slide rails to one of the trays, following the manufacturer’s directions. Test-fit the tray in the cabinet and make any necessary adjustments before completely fastening the rails. Mount the slide rails on the remaining trays and install the trays to finish the job.
