Since I know how to build a drawer, now I have to find a way to add some supports to hand all the drawers that I am going to make. I think I spent more time thinking about what to do than actually doing it. I found out that it is ten time faster to just follow a plan, instead of making something up my self.
I am not sure this is the best way to approach this but it built 4 drawers first. And measured how wide I need to make the supports to hang the drawer slides.
Once again I showed some pictures to my dad of my progress and he suggested that I should not make the drawers too deep. But rather make more drawers that are shallow. Because from his experience he was not able to utilize the whole drawer that is deeper and if he did it is hard to dig for things on the bottom. At first I disagreed with his suggestion because some of the things that I have might need a deeper drawer. And eventually I come to realize that he is right. Most of the things I have will fit in the shallow drawers with out any problems. Ultimately you will have to determine what you want to put in the drawers and customize it for yourself.
