      Hi John, do you have a cost estimate for the store bought slides, vs the timber, fixings, and varnish for your home made version..?
      Of course we can't factor in our time as that will vary from person to person and tooling available..
      Here in Australia, full extension slides like these are quite expensive, especially if you need heavy duty ones..
      Many years ago I made a power tool drawer for under my work bench, and the 40kg slides I got were about 45 bucks a pair..
      To be fair, they've been reliable and trouble free in the 11 years since, so I'm also wondering how timber ones would hold up over time.
      Great content, and thanks for sharing 👍

    I work for a millwork company. My department makes custom doors. I built a new 4'x8' ft table today for my department, minus the 4ft wide drawer I want under the tabletop. I am 100% going to utilize this design, using 1x4 mahogany scrap that we've accumulated the past 2 years. You sir are a life saver!

    John - Great video,very informative, helpful, detailed etc. Thanks for sharing and including the plans.
    Honestly - I was wish I had a .10 of your abilities, creativity, thoughts, drive etc.
    Some of your work is truly mind blowing - even with something like this. Nothing major. Nothing huge, Nothing so
    complex that an engineer needed to work on. Simple enough for just about anyone to take on, BUT it took someone like yourself with your thoughts and abilities to make it happen. Thank you!

    John you must have been a Tool & Die maker as I was for over forty years when I saw you pull out your calipers and measure, this is the way I measure also. Took a woodworking class for over twenty years at local community college they all laughed at me for measuring this close. Great tips on slides love your gear movement on vise, I think I would need a dividing head and Bridgeport to make this one. Your teaching skills are excellent keep doing what you love !

    John thank you for this amazing video and contributions to woodworking. Currently I am building a cart to go under the right of my table saw. The cart is going to end up with 5 drawers. I am looking at $105 for the 100lb full extension slides. My next build will be similar to your Large Toolbox build. In fact, I am toying with abandoning my current plan and just build two of your Large Toolbox builds. With a small shop, you want everything to be mobile. When I first started out, I caught some of your videos. At the time, they were way over my head. Now that I am on my third reorganization of my shop 6 years in, I really get your builds. Especially your drawer slides. Those drawer slides will save me great deal of money, and will go a long way in helping my understanding of mounting drawers.

Am building a sanding station for my oscillating sander and small belt/disc sander, and the room left for a small drawer to hold the misc. drums, discs, etc. is too short in depth to use metal ones, as the big box store’s shortest ones are 14” long. Will build yours. Did like the comment about eliminating the screw threads-to-slide contact, in order to minimize wear.

    I made some of these with a minor variation. Instead of gluing the hardwood runners directly to the drawers and cabinets sides, i gluedthe hardwood runners to a piece of luan. Four per drawer. I did that so I could adjust them to fit, rather than calculated as my work is ahem, not as precise as Johns. They attach with eight countersunk screws each going through the luan. Rubbed some candle wax on the contact surfaces and the drawers slide like glass! Thanks John!
