With the drawer only filling part of the space underneath the table, the channel just spanned from the front to the back for the drawers to slide in. I also used this approach in a drawer chest, shown at left. The drawers go right to the edge of the cabinet, so it was more expedient and space efficient to just attach pieces of hardwood to the inside sides of the cabinet. I just used pieces of scrap hardwood I had lying around, which is why the pieces of wood have odd shapes to them

August 12, 2003 - Ball bearing slides have there place, but for some pieces, they just aren't the solution. Here is what I would do. For smaller drawers, I would simply have the solid wood drawer box ride on the bottom of their sides on "L" shaped cleats mounted in the case The bottom of the "L" is where the drawer rides and the side of the "L" is what keeps the drawer in place side-to-side.

February 14, 2025 - Full-extension metal slides allow you to build a drawer the full depth of the cabinet and still access its furthest reaches without removing it from the cabinet. To get that access using wood guides, you'll need to move the back of the drawer forward 2–4".

October 11, 2017 - Two-way ball bearing slides large enough to accommodate my drawer (32 inches deep) would have cost well over $100. And again, they would have not met #3 above. My cost was around $25. In order to make this reasonably easy to build, I chose to make these slides from wood.

December 8, 2018 - I'm just curious if anyone has attempted to make full extension wood drawer slides, i have a project coming up that will require a couple of drawers, i've used metal, wood, sliding dovetail and they all have their place but i saw a article in FWW (i think) that showed how to make these. at first ...

January 2, 2025 - If you had a chest carcass that you wanted to put 3 drawers in without using store bought slides how would you do it? ... Have you already assembled the case? What stock will you use to divide the drawers horizontally? I've used wood runners with some vertical stock to keep the drawers from going sideways.

December 3, 2020 - Rub a bar of soap (we used a basic Dove bar here) along the tracks on the bottom of the drawer and in the cabinet/dresser. Make sure to get anywhere wood rubs against wood and give it plenty of soap.

February 19, 2021 - Once you learn how to do this and have the lightbulb go off, it will open so many new things you may have been avoiding building or fixing because of drawers.

For single sliding dovetails, you end up like option one, but you control the side to side movement for a solid feel. You can also use them as center drawer slides from underneath. For full-slide sliding dovetails, I make the slides like like a small version of a table slide, with wooden dowels holding them together:

September 14, 2018 - She ended up with a telescoping dovetail mechanism that uses an intermediate slider with a dovetail on one face that fits a groove in the drawer side. The other face is grooved to match a dovetailed cleat fastened to the inside of the cabinet. A detailed project plan illustrates her design. She builds the drawer first and then makes the cleats and wood drawer slides, spending time to fine-tune the machine setups and sliding dovetails.

November 25, 2023 - Drawer bottom. Since I need to make 3 new drawers for the bedroom I can make them with the needed clearances for either side or undermount slides. If I had to I could make new boxes for the hall or disassemble and reconstruct the existing. I would like to minimize the time and effort required.
