Hello everyone!
Can someone suggest a drawer design for a newbie? I would like a two drawer design to add to a table I am currently building. I want one drawer on top of another, equal widths. Taking into account my storage needs and space available for drawers, I'm thinking that the face of the top drawer be about 6" and the face of the bottom drawer be about 12", both about 10" wide.
I like the look of a fingerjoint, especially on a drawer. I think I can build the actual drawers though. It's the box around it and the slider hardware that I can't seem to wrap my head around. I would prefer a smooth sliding action, maybe even with a metal slider for each. And then there is how to attach it to the table frame as well?
Can you tell that this will be my very first attempt at building drawers? :o Any help would be greatly appreciated!
