Slide-Out Pot Rack

Attach the outer (larger) member of the drawer slide to the 2x4 fixed rail, flush to the bottom, with its front edge flush to the front of the 2x4. Getting the slide flush and square here sets up everything downstream.

Extend the inner part of the slide fully and fasten it to the 2x2 moving rail, all edges flush to the bottom and the front edge of the inner member flush to the front of the 2x2. Do the same on the second side if you're running a slide per side.

Set the assembly on top of the 1x6 base, confirm the slide still runs smoothly, then glue and screw the base on from underneath with 2" screws. Slide it in and out before the glue cures — this is your last chance to correct a bind for free.

Predrill pilot holes for each screw hook and thread them into the 2x4 rail. Predrilling matters — driving a hook into un-drilled 2x4 near an edge will split it.

Mount the finished organizer centered in the cabinet, using the L-brackets to support the back of the fixed rail. Exactly how you anchor it depends on your cabinet's construction — into the side walls, a cleat, or the back — so adjust to what your box gives you. Confirm it clears the face frame and door when pulled all the way out.
