John, you are one of the smartest guys I know. Your ability to figure out mechanical movements and translate those to wood is simply amazing.

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!

As an old hand, I have to say your videos are top notch, enough so that I'd make them an important part of any novice's education. Thank you.

[MichaeltheCrank]

I really like these. I'm one of those people with more time than money, so this works for me.

You never cease to amaze me, John - incredible. There is nothing that you can't be made out of wood. Great video.

John, thank you for showing all of us how to make what we want/need instead of having to buy it.

I enjoy seeing all the items you have made being put to use on additional projects and how sturdy they are.

John, I consider you to have the best mechanical minded person on you tube. My passion is lathe work,
I have made most of the jigs that I use in my hobby. I definitely will be using this application to put new drawers under my new work bench that i built.

Watched this video last year when it first posted, finally got around to making my own set this last week. They work amazing! Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent with the rest of us!

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!

[supergimp]

Bravo, John. This is exactly why we come back.

[symposes]

That is fantastic, now you can build the cabinet to fit the location instead of the hardware. Thank you John.

Now for your next build... Making these Soft-closing!

Finally used these drawer slides. Excellent! I had to try designing my own to appreciate how clever this design is. Looks simple and is simple and that is genius. Thank you, John!

[eduardom]

Again, Mr. Heisz, design is simple and efective. There will be a set of drawers in my closet using these slides. Thank you.

[markgomm]

john, you have to be the craftiest person i know!

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.

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!

[howder]

Great product John, the "cheap" me has wondered about wooden slides like this, thanks for doing the leg work and designing, this is why i like you and Mathias, wood first! Cheers and thanks!

[gonesideways]

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 !

Very beautiful and unique, you have great carpentry skills.
