I would love to see one of the drawers pulled all the way out so that we can see the inside gliders and whatnot. I would love to do something like that to keep different marca's together.

I'll try to get some pics of the insides a little later on.
It's not very high tech, but there's some things that are very important.

Pretty sick. I'm curious how the gliders are done as well. Awesome little project!!!!

Very impressive!

Sounds like you have the makings of a small side-job if you want it.

Awesome Job!!!

I was thinking...if you wanted to "sure it up" a little "more"...You could use some of those tiny brass rounded head brads...drill first.

Make it studded!!!...

...lol.

These are one of my favorite types of thread- I love to see what people can come up with and this is fantastic!!

Also extremely cool that the family has responded and taken the time to pass the photos around.

If i had any boxes of anything, I would try to make something like that.....but mine would probably come out all screwed up

Here's a pic of the inside.
The glides are simply 1/4" rips from an extra lid.
Notice how they are short in the front. That was so the didn't interfere with the front lip on the trays.
The space between the glides is exactly equal to the height of the front of the tray.
What that means is the drawers would not fit between the glides.
I did that on purpose because the trays are a little shorter on the sides than on the ends.
I reasoned that if I just took a tiny bit off the top back of the tray then when I slide the drawer out it wouldn't hang way down and be all cobby and sloppy, but stand almost straight. It worked perfect.
When I laid the glides out I made spacers 2" wide that were exactly the same height as the fronts of the trays.
I used two spacers for each glide space, one towards the back and one towards the front.
So it went (from top to bottom)glide, spacers, glide, spacers, and so forth all the way up.
I glued and laid out the glides and then sandwiched the whole deal using the top and back panels and then clamped them and let them dry.
Once everything dried I ripped the extra length off of the side boards by simply following the top of the top glide.
I touched up the bottom of the sides on the table saw, too.
I actually screwed the whole thing up when I did that because I took a little more off the bottom of the left side than the right. The gap under the bottom tray is off just a whiskerbiscuit.
I didn't see it till way too late, so I just left it. I'd have had to tear the whole right side off to fix the problem and I really wasn't in the mood.
Okay, so here's the pic...
