Problem is, by the time I get around to the drawers in a kitchen

permanently, so just go for the quick fix at the time to get it done.

Rest of the time the Leigh sits on a shelf and doesn't get a thought
otherwise ... time to do something about it would be now. But I won't
hold my breath!



I would think that you would have a finite number of drawer heights,
or that you could standardize during the design process. If that is
so and you wound up with three or four standard drawer heights, I
wonder if you could get a perfect setup for each and use that to cut a
solid template out of phenolic/acrylic/aluminum etc.

Probably a rainy morning's worth of fuss but ,once you're done, the
moving finger problem is gone for good on production runs.

It's been _a_long_time_ (tm ) since I did production work for pay and
don't intend to return but I'm virtually positive that any more I'd
simply buy drawer boxes rather than hand cut them (even w/ fixed jig).
Just too many competitive choices these days...
