Hi there, first-time poster in this forum. I’m a Seattle-based woodworker who enjoys small and large projects alike, and I trend towards the craftsman style.
I’m noodling a jewelry box for my next project and I was hoping to see if folks have ideas on how to do the drawers. I want the drawers to pull out “all the way” to access the back edge of the drawer - I don’t like it when you pull out a drawer but can only access 3/4 or so of the drawer, otherwise it will come off its slides and fall out completely.
Is there a general rule of thumb for how much (what proportion?) drawer/slider needs to stay inside the box so it doesn’t fall out or droop too much, and you can still access the whole drawer? I suppose the other alternative is to just use metal drawer sliders made for this kind of thing, but I want to explore wood options first.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
