Default Shop made full extension wooden drawer slides

FWW July/August 2000 has the plans for the full ext wood slides I made. I
would not do it again.

If you're going to have drawers on both sides of your cart, why not just
make full width (depth?) drawers that open from both sides? Then you can
use simple wooden drawer runners, since the drawers only open 1/2 way.

Fine Woodworking did some several years ago. I made some for a shop
cabinet, but they were pretty tedious to make and seem to lack the

strength
and smoothness of metal slides. I'd recommend against making your own.
If you're still interested, I'll see if I can find the issue number.

Does anyone know of a source online for plans, photos, or drawings of
shop built full extension drawer slides?

I'm designing my shop carts and need to add drawers for holding bits,
screws, etc. The drawers will be on both sides of my 24" wide cart so
will only be 10" deep. Can't find metal drawer slides that short plus
the closest I've found are $10-20 each and with 16 drawers that's
going to cost more than the wood I'm building the cart from.
