    Drawer slide set back from front of cabinet?

    Evening and thanks for the reply. I should have added in my initial post that that is what I was considering doing. I read way more than I wanted to on various blogs and DIY sites. I think about ~1/16 is what I was going to go for unless someone here had better insight. I made a small spacer...

    Best method to put together cabinets/shelves

    Morning, thanks for the info! I have this compulsion to over engineer so I was leaning towards the 2x6 but I also want to keep it as simple and effective as possible. I was not sure if 2x6 would be over kill and whether or not the width should be equal for both parts. Last thing I want is to...
