I melt/soak bees wax carefully into the wood grain, with a propane torch set low to not scorch the grain, into the sliding friction parts

What a great idea!! Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this video. I am looking for a method to redo some workshop drawers, and this is it!! I've watched several of your videos - great content and very interesting, keep up the good work!!

You should add another runner on top of the TOP drawer instead of the wedges you added to the top to keep the drawer from tipping down when you pull it out.
Other than that it's a great idea and video.

And, the way you did it, the drawers won't tip out easily because the upper runner will catch the drawer as well!

Looking at various videos to build drawers but I wonder if pine is the right choice for the runners as it i soft and will wear down over time. Is this the case and would you suggest using a much harder wood for thi purpose?

Hi Phil - It looks like you cut a dado in the sides of the drawers. It that correct? If yes what are there purpose? I thought the bottom of the drawer just slides on the runners

How thick your wood mesurement is for screwing the small parts

The answer might be somewhere in the video I haven't watched the whole thing yet but i'm just curious How big do they need to be in relation to the drawer?
