Quote from: wyorunner on January 02, 2019, 11:55:25 AMNice job chief! I don’t know much about wood so me personally would run something like that until it fell apart. Fabric on the other hand, I look forward to seeing how that felt holds up. As it’s not very good stuff. If I was a guessing kind of guy the stuff in the drawers will disintegrate in short order and the stuff on top will begin to pill and show wear in similar fashion. I have used that brand of felt and color for key chains, and this is what it does in your pocket. Same brand in black and white, we’ve used full bolts of the stuff! If you ever have to replace the felt check out sailrite they’ll have something a we bit more industrious. But that felt serves the exact purpose your looking for, cheap and effective.... for a time :) Again, nice work!Sailrite? The marine outfit?

Their fabric, canvas, sail cloth selection is vast. It’s where a lot of camper builders/re-furbers purchase material. Specifically the ones who have a pop top partial soft sided pickup camper. https://www.sailrite.com/Fabrics/RV-and-Auto-Fabric/Car-and-RV-Covers?t=1546455335061Of course it’s a little more spendy than Joann’s but it’s aimed at a different long term use. If I attempt a redo of a seat of bench seats we have I’ll purchase upholstery cloth from there....

well for a guy with that much woodworking equipment, he didnt use a drop of glue. - badi liked the way he installed the carpet on the bottom of the drawers and then attached the sidesthe poly sliders on the bottom seems like a good idea too.
Both are workable. Remember he has a solid bottom and it was in the bed of a truck. As long as you aren't filling those drawers tip to tip with M855 I doubt you'll ever have problems with them.
I think your slides are fine Don. Just worried about the drawer bottoms not holding up.Did you try yours with the Dog
I ran across this on the interwebs...https://youtu.be/d-BWmPaBfjQSome good parts and some bad parts but some other things to consider
