247262 Malcolm Thomas <idraconus@i...> 2014‑04‑18 Drawer Slide Question
Hello,
AM building a set of drawers for my workbench ...my tool collection seems to be
multiplying for some obscure reason :-)

being inspired by the methodology depicted here..  http://woodgears.ca/
workbench/drawers.html">http://woodgears.ca/workbench/drawers.html


I did plan to use 19mm x 19mm jarrah for the drawer slides, however i realise
that once I have seated them 4-5mm into the upright, only 15mm or so will be
left protruding to support the drawers.

Is this enough ?  Perhaps i need to go up a notch to the 38 x 19mm ?   This’ll
allow me to seat them lower in the upright and giving me more slide for the
drawers to sit on.

Whats the opinion here ?

This is the front drawer frame with the 19 x 19 slides clamped on….. look a bit
small I think …
