Keyboard Tray Slides
A person at my daughters HS has asked if I could put together two keyboard trays for the secretaries at their office. I probably have enough 3/4" ply to put together two, but I am at a bit of a loss as to where I can find the necessary "under mount slides".:-? I saw these at the Lee Valley site...- Canuck
