Kitchen drawer height?

I have no idea why you would ever need that much clearance between the drawer box and the frame opening, especially if the slides mount on the sides of the box. About 1/4" is all I ever needed. 3/8" might be more common.

Well, the drawer box has to lift**UP* and set into the attached slides inside the cabinet Ed

Apples and oranges you both are correct.

Ed is talking about ball bearing extension slides.

Stwood is talking about standard epoxy coated drop in slides.

Ed did not elaborate nor say anything about slide type.

I guess so. Anything wrong with that? I've been using ball bearing slides for nearly 20 years. I've also built my own slides with hardwood and still never needed more than 1/4" clearance between the drawer box and the face frame. They still work today. Once in awhile I add a little wax to those.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that Ed.

Yes I understand the clearances for BB slides. After building probably 10,000 drawers with different combo's along the way. 1/4" is fine for BB slides.

I did refer to Euro side mount slides. Thus the *needed* 1" clearance, so you can get the box in the hole.
Yes


Hey how is your chainsaw polishing going? It's about time to fire up for firewood season.
I'll probably be starting in about a month.

Chainsaws all running good. I just fixed a Husky 350 today that needed to be completely rebuilt - top end, carb, and coil. Now it runs. Here's the latest workbench I built to handle the hobby:

No nails in this bench anywhere. Ir's all made with quartersawn oak, except of course for the back panel where I hang chainsaw bars, chains, and other parts. It took me about 9 months to build this bench. Much of the original idea came from a ShopNotes issue that was published in issue 75, about 14 years ago. The drawer units and the back hutch that also lights it up was my original design. I think those were improvements.

Frankly speaking, I love this workbench and use it daily. It's as strong as an ox.
