After drilling holes... what's next? How to align the two 90 degree pieces of butted wood so they don't slide around as you drill them together?

That part is up to you - depending on the pieces, you can clamp them together or clamp one or both pieces to a work surface.

Several ways to screw them together. 1) Use a fixed continuous 90 degree corner to allow just one hand to create a tight fit as the other hand applies the drill and screw. 2) Clamp down one board so its fixed and use one hand to hold the other board tight to the clamped board, so you can screw it with the other hand, or 3) clamp one board down flat to a table (bench) top, and use another clamp to secure the other board vertically and you can use BOTH hands to apply the screws with a drill. Either one handed screwing or two handed screwing, your choice. One handed is easy if you have a magnetic screw bit for the screw head. The strongest joints are glued and screwed.

Not so much. But the process is dead simple. While the slides are loose and in hand put them together to see how they go together in the first place. One half snuggles into the bottom edge of the drawers, the other side attaches to the side of the cabinet. PLACEMENT, however, is king. The action isn't in how TO attach the slides, but rather is in attaching accurately so that the left side and right side of the cabinet side slides are at the same level and are parallel to one another. There are many strategies for accomplishing this - find one of the woodworking forums online and soak up some technique info for how to achieve the straight and parallel installation you need.

The directions are a little wrong. Take your time ... sort out everything first .... loose assembly first ... then rebuild and glue. Get your own, store bought wood clue. Good luck ... it will take time.

Also, I would suggest having a lubricant like WD-40, bar soap etc. as not all of the pre marked screw holes are exactly where they need to be. The lubricant helps the screw go in a little better. But watching the you tube video on assembly is a GREAT help to see how it is done.

There's arrows on the metal piece. You need to thread them up in the direction of the arrows. Hope this helps.

There is no mechanism per se to do that. However, if the cabinet is level and square, you can rest the jig on the floor of the cabinet. You do not need shelf holes that low, usually, but you can drill a single shelf hole using the top hole of the jig and then move the jig up and insert the alignment pin and drill another hole. Those extra holes are normally fine (they look like they belong there). Of course, you do that all around the cabinet, and then all of your holes will be aligned. You can also do the same thing from the top down.

I was very careful to measure the one stud I used and to center the lag bolts in the stud for maximum grip. I also made sure to predrill the proper size hole - small enough to make sure the lag bolt had enough wood to grab tightly but not too small and chance breaking the bolt.

1 here as well, I added another. If you decide to add screws be sure to pre-drill the holes so you don't encourage splitting.

Need to buy the swivels and screw them into the stock. Need to pre drill the holes so the wood doesn't split.

I don't think I had instructions either. There are pretty good diagrams and charts on the box. Just determine the amount of lumber you need and screw it into the supplied parts - you can see clearly where the screws go.... and you should be set.

Oh, geeze. I feel your pain. Ours had all the hardware but there were places where notches should have been drilled, but were inverted. It took 4 adults 6 hours to assemble ours. Had it not been for a full working wood shop in our garage we wouldn't have ever gotten the thing together. Be glad you didn't wait until Christmas Eve like we did. My thoughts are with you, best of luck.

Yeah I had that problem too. I used vise grip clamps to set the width I wanted between the two sides and then drilled new holes

If you are mounting into a wood fore end, go to ace and pick up a few stainless steel wood screws. Layout , mark and pilot drill your holes, so the screws don't crack the wood. Please don't use a big pilot bit, or the screws will strip out.

I had the same issue at first, but it was because they weren't seated on each other properly. Make sure the holes are aligned and the halves are seated well before putting the screws on. Hope this helps.

when you drill or nail the anchors make sure they're even and they're about 33in apart. Also make sure that the short bend is facing upwards towards you (like an upside-down chair). The place the board on it. the anchors will slip in between the border and the actual board

I had no instructions. I uses some scrap wood and adjusted the drill setting until I had what I wanted. You may be able to find some information from the manufacturer on line.

I strongly recommend carefully predrilling before adding screws---to minimize wood stress/splitting risk. (some 'self tapping' screws automatically do this, but one must be especially careful not to over tighten/strip out the holes!!)
