    The proper way to attach slides is by screws not weld! Building a heavy duty tool drawers is one nasty task, one wishes he never do it again! The lower drawer was for heavy items and double the size of other drawers, hence carried 4 slides.

    Hi Gang:
    While not as durable as steel, I built this cabinet from wood from my Grandmother's house.

    Still going strong after 48 years. The cross on the front is the lock bar and is stored on the side handles.
