Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

10" of snow is big???

That's a dusting around here. :B

As our son says, "go big or go home". Lol.

Looks like we're heading for at least 10 or more inches of snow until this is over in the morning.

That translates to 312 cubic inches more useable space over using factory drawer slides. You have gained approx. 1/5th cubic foot space.

Well, there you have it. If you want more storage space, wooden slides will work. An extra 1 inch of width doesn't sound like much, but sometimes i will make the difference between items that will or won't fit.

Go figure.

Thanks for the figures.

Sitting here watching our 6-10, 8-12, or dusting to a foot of snow fall. Not sure what exactly is going to occur until the end of the storm. Lol.

Absolutely. Having it fall out during movement would not be a good thing.

Also a latch to keep the shelf from sliding out during travel.

I like the idea of the slide saving wasted space that typical drawer slides require. It appears there is a gain of 44 cubic inches of storage in a 6 inch high and 22 inch deep drawer. 58.7 cubic inches gained with an 8 inch high drawer. That is a significant gain on a total cabinet install.

I will have a stop to make sure the drawer is not accidently pulled out too far. That would not be good with an oven sitting on the pulled out portion.

Yes, there will also be a release to pull the shelf out completely as well, and a latch to keep it from moving during travel. Those are all good points to keep in mind when using drawers in a moving vehicle/house.

A set of steel slides will be roughly 1/2" in width for each side. Then we add about 1/2" width for the drawer sides. That results in about 2" less drawer space than the width of the "hole".

This setup uses a touch over 1/2" for the slide and the drawer side. It does save space, and depending on what the drawer is used for, it may make a difference in whether what you want to put in there will fit or not.

I could have cut the sides and slides down to no more than 1/2" per side easily, without sacrificing strength. Yes, it takes more time and effort, but again, it may or may not be worth it depending on your application.

Thanks.
