Less Expensive Stainless Drawer Slides
Thought I would pass this along for any of you considering full extention
drawer slides. Rutu has 4 larger drawers under the bunks. I had wanted to use slides because opening large heavy drawers that might be swolen can be a real problem but had given up on the idea because Sugatsune wants $160 a pair. I just received 4 sets of 22" KV 6400 full extention slides made of 304 stainless and rated for 75 lbs. Price was $51 a set. They are actually a little more substantial than the Sugatsune and a hair thinner. They come in 16", 18", 20" and 22" lengths. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

Please share with us the detail for latching them. I'm sure you have a clever
solution. Best, Jim Glenn Ashmore wrote: Thought I would pass this along for any of you considering full extention drawer slides. Rutu has 4 larger drawers under the bunks.

Well, I don't have Glenn's latching idea, but here's an idea to make the drawers lighter - use the steel slides, but fastened only to the top of the drawer-front. The drawer itself is merely a mesh shape suspended from the slides and a bar across the back. From outside, you see the traditional drawerfront, from inside, you have a super-light, well ventilated holding area. ;-) Steve |

The pulls will be ABI 330011 recessed hatch lifts with latches. Two per
drawer. Originally I was going to use round push/pop up latches but I have several extra of these ABI latches left over from the sole hatches. They are a lot more secure and look real "shippy." :-) Also the push/pop up latches cost almost twice as much as the ABI latches.

Built a produce storage drawer at the bottom of the cabinet with 1/4" stainless mesh bottom and back so the veggies get good ventelation. It will be a couple of years before I can report on how well it works though. |

Get back to work Glenn. Good idea ;-) We are all eagerly awaiting the completion of that boat. Now, Wayne... We all know that when it is launched, it will merely be entering the 50-year "sea trial" part of its building. Boats are never "completed" Steve |
