The interesting thing is, of all the people that follow this, very few ever post anything. It's tough to tell if it's too much detail, just the correct amount of detail, or not enough detail.

Highly unlikely that it's not enough detail.

As a result, I'll keep plugging along.

I only had a very short time today to work, as we spent the afternoon with the son and daughter in law.

I'll post that tomorrow.

If the weatherman is accurate, we are expecting 6 - 12 inches of snow in the next 48 hours. We'll see. Could wind up being a dusting.

Around here, ya just never know. Lol.

Thanks, but I never claimed to be a master anything. I've heard it said, there is a fine line between genius and crazy, and I never claimed to be a genius. Lol.

Pre drilling will reduce splitting and won’t leave dimples from the clamp.

Yes it will. Just another way to accomplish the same job.

While I appreciate your woodworking skill and creativity in building the shelf, why not just use a full extension drawer guide? They are sturdy and have a built in stop and easy to install.

Exactly!

I guess the short answer is .... Because I can. Lol. Do not be concerned. This drawer is the only drawer in the coach that I will use this type of slide.

One and done. (Thank goodness for that)!!! Lol.

You will not have to endure more drawers being built like this one.

Ok, ok, the cheering can die down now........
