re: Stupid stupid stupid!

I got the wood slides in. I never did that before. It was almost more trouble than it was worth. I almost gave up and decided to just remake the drawers. That’s how much trouble these things gave me. Everything is an opportunity to learn, I guess. First, this was a retrofit, obviously, so that meant crawling into the cabinet that was already installed. Not fun. Next the slides were warped before and after I screwed then in. I ended up enlarging the dado on the drawer sides to make them move smoother. That also was a pain because the drawer front is glued on. They’re shop cabinets. They weren’t supposed to be fancy. You can see where i cut through the drawer fronts. Well, they’re finally in, anyway. Tomorrow I’ll cut some gaps in the drawer fronts for finger pulls. Nothing fancy. I still need to lubricate the slides. I have to find some soap.
