- As for the real important stuff, i ended up with standard flush mount on
- wooden side glides. This was my first "all wood" drawer and boy do i have
- a lot to improve on. Any slop or out of square makes the drawer bind or
- stick. Looks nice tho. For the front door stop i used FWW idea of cutting
- a notch in the drawer back and mount a wooden block on the top rail which can be
- privoted to let the drawer out. The only suggestion i got was wiring the drawers
- together so as one got pulled out the others would go in. Great idea for
- safety and extension stop.
-
- Let me know how your project works out. I really love the accuglide botton
- mount sliders (yeh "cheap kitchen" construction) but at $6 a pair, easy slide
- and good stop, i love em. They can be used on flush mount, just make the
- box smaller, which is the big disadvantage, i hate loosing that 1 inch for side
- clearance.
