Nice job. To eliminate air bubbles in the roller it needs to be fully saturated with your finish/ paint and then unload most of it back in tray before attempting to use. Not sure about that finish over pre oiled material. Raw would be better if going for a full sealer/finishing coat or stay with a food grade butcher board oil and just reoil as needed.

Nice Job, Chippy here, with the benchtops did you seal both top and bottom ? if not, whack a coat on the bottoms to equalize moisture absorption, if you only did the top the bottom will absorb more moisture and warp the panels and the underneaths will also be prone to mold,.when rolling panels like these, go for the 100mm wide 4mm nap microfibre rollers, these give a flawless finish, the draw construction was a different way to build them, but if it works that's all that matters 👍👍
@stevegraham38173 ай бұрын
It does look great, but hopefully it never has to come out and never works loose with those ridges flattening out.. The locktight bolt to rivnut bond will be stronger than the rivnut to canopy bond, and the rivnuts will spin before the bolts get tighter, of looser for that matter.

Nice. If you're screwing through the front face/carpet, i put a small slit in the carpet, and the screw head usually pulls through it, and you can then glue the carpet back over it.

You could of righted some channel across the open tabs and used it for a tea towel rail. Now you are relying one one lock to fail and have a heavy draw fall out on you.

That was my original plan actually, but would be a messy solution for this build unfortunately. Because both sets of runners are inline with each other, the ‘bar’ for the outermost slide would prevent the lower bench from sliding out. This could be overcome by adding extension pieces to raise this outer bar up and out of the way, but just didn’t want it to look messy and pretty happy with how it’s turned out. 🙂

I did something similar with my rails so only 1 needs to be pressed to open it but there is one tab close to the end of the rail you can trim so you don't have to press the lever down to open but it retains the lever so when pulled out they both lock to hold the drawer out. You have to press both levers to close but only one to open. Much safer and very easy to open.

For a single handed operation of locking and unlocking your drawers, wouldn't it have been easier to attach a bar that ran across the front of your drawer that connects to both sides of your locking knobs of your draw sliders have been an easier solution (than having to hack your expensive draw slides)? I believe Dunn and Watson also sell this part and it's a bolt on item.
@explorebound4 ай бұрын
That was my original plan actually, however that solution gets a bit messy when dealing with a 2-stage slide out system like this because the outer bar would be in the way of the inner slide out bar if that makes sense. You could solve this by adding extension pieces to the outermost slide-out module but at that point I think it would have just looked messy, and this solution is working great so far 👍

Good job mate. A tip for the drawers is use alloy angle instead of the timber to lock it together. Saves room in the drawer. Just a short screw thu the the 7mm ply and buzz the pointy bit off the screw. You dont see it anyway cause its inside. Makes them very solid ive found with my diy stuff in my rig. This is a great design im stealing it!!

Looks good, just a thought though.

Great design/ DIY build as always, would have kept the locking mechanisms in though, at least for main and bench slides. Single lockout will jiggle, which will be more of a nuisance over time than two handed opening. A piece of flat bar over bolted into orange tabs would have been the best solution, also seen it done with a narrow tube which looked super neat. If you're happy with it though that's all that matters...
