Default Hey Swingman - You've Been Plagurized!

Was watching HGTV the other night and what to my wondering eyes should
appear - right there on TV for the whole world to see? To kick drawers in
kitchen cabinets. Yeah - you read it right, your idea published for the
world to see and not a single credit to you.

Now, for all I know these things could have been around for a long time, but
the first time I ever saw them was in some of Swingman's pictures. My wife
thought they were cool and I just smugly told her that I know the inventor
of them. Didn't buy me much.


I'm pretty sure they're been around for a while. They're definitely a
good use for unutilized space. I've been building drawers into kitchen
toekicks for the past 15 years or so. I usually don't tell the owner
that I'm doing it. I just install them and sometime later in a follow
up visit, I casually press the kick drawer with my toe and the touch
latch pops it open. The owner's astonishment is priceless.
