have thunk it!
I'm not sure what you mean by that. I was merely mentioning that I never wo uld have thought of building a frame with slides and making sure everything fit before installing them in the cabinet.
BTW...I threw together a sample frame and drawer last night using an old ch eap drawer slide that I had lying around. I used the Kreg Pocket Hole jig t hat the kids bought me for Christmas to build the slide frame. The pocket h ole construction made the frame square so there was no need for the corner braces. I only have 4 frames to build, so I may just pocket hole them all i nstead of cutting braces, tacking them on, etc. I'll ensure they are perfec tly square when I attach them to the existing cabinet framework.
I discovered that the cabinet on the far left of the counter butts up again st a tall cabinet and has a side wall that is flush with the face frame. Th e right side is "open" like the rest of the cabinets, but the left side has a wall, so I can't use the three sided frame for that cabinet. Obviously t he left hand slide will have to be mounted to that side panel and I'll need to make a support to hold the right hand slide. No biggy, just won't be a bench-built frame like the other 4. Of course, it happens to be one of the narrower cabinets, so the one that will required the most in-cabinet work i s also the most cramped.
