I screwed the frame together and started making the slide supports.
I have a stash of recycled slides but they were too short and I needed to go buy sets of 550mm ones to do the job.
Allso I needed to buy Ply for the drawer frames, I wanted to get 1/2 " or 12mm but the cost and quality made me go for MDF instead
doing the calculations I needed 2 x sheets of 2400 x 1200 mm.

Now trying to wrangle these puppies was quite a task for one person but I managed . (look for the skateboard in another picture)

It involved having the gates open and 3 x roller supports to assist.

the two sheets were ripped in half length wise and stashed away.
I then continued fitting the drawer slide supports.

Once I completed that step I fitted one slide set experimented with how big I could make the drawers.

the depth of the drawers was 570mm and a max height of 140mm which looked good.
So I set to work ripping the fronts and backs and made a test piece to ensure that the Kreg screws would perform as required

Now a point to note:-  if you intend to fill the pocket holes you will need to reduce the screw length from 25.4mm to 19 mm and set the collar deeper 5/8, just a aspect of the Microjig attachment, no big deal all that happens is if you use the 1/2 " setting the plugs will not fit in properly, according to the Kreg experts.

(just a bit of trivia and in case a eagle eye or Duck eye spots what looks to be incorrect setup of the Black microJig)

I completed the first drawer frame and dropped it into position from above. (Pretty smart I thought!)

Looked absolutely great and I was pleased. However I found it bound up on the Face frame when I tried to remove it the normal way,  bugga!
So the height had to be reduced to 125mm and all was good.
I clamped and glued everything together.

However I found the MDF material being a little greasy it kept moving in my clamps so I had the use sash clamps to prevent movement and stop it moving off station  upon inserting the Kreg screws.

Beavering and screwing away I made all eight drawer carcasses and left them to dry overnight.
Financials:- I now find I have spent $200 on slides and MDF an expense I had not considered.
Oh and not forgetting a case of beer as I thought all was going well enough to celebrate, so  add another $50 !
I started thinking what I could do with the finished product as I certainly wasn't going to be putting it out on the footpath this time!
