Thanks guys! I think I'll make one drawer, test it with some paste
wax, and see how that feels. I bet it will work. These drawers will
be holding DVD's, which aren't particularly heavy, and won't be opened
that often.


I just finished a chest of six drawers for the shop. The wood is all
construction grade pine (soft and economical) . A little Butchers wax
and they all slide nicely with no metal hardware of any kind. I didn't
bother to make center slides this time. I have used them in the past on
other projects, and they always make the drawers work a little nicer.
Center slides are easy enough to make. Just dado a groove in the
slider on the drawer bottom and fasten a 3/4 inch guide to the case
frame under the drawer.
