Tool chest build question

[Rwe2156]

I'm building a tool box similar to this


Trying to figure out drawer slides. I was planning on simple runners top and bottom hidden by drawer fronts.

Suggestions?

I think all the Gerstner chests used a dado in the drawer side and a corresponding "runner" in the chest side.

The only problem with putting runners on top and bottom is that you lose some "drawer-box" side wall height. (The designs look identical closed...)

I agree with Hank, dado in each drawer side and and runners attached to the carcass.
