Project Information
I know the table is blocking a door, but let me explain. When we first put our house in that door was suppose to go to a garage. We found that area unsuitable for a garage, and so for 20+ years we've had a door that goes " nowhere".
As it is next to the laundry area my wife asked for a table to fit in that space, to fold clothes, etc. She also wanted a drawer to store things in. I picked up some maple on sale, and off I went. The build was similar to most tables with one exception. My wife has very little strength in her hands so I decided on full extension drawer slides. ( The drawer is 30"x30", I didn't want it falling out of her hands). To make it easy to line the drawer slides up I mounted them on subassemblies, with brackets to line them up in the table. Turns out it was a good thing I did this as the drawer slides were blocking some of the table top attaching holes.
I'm not too happy with how the legs turned out but in the near future the space under the table will be home to a couple of pet beds, so I don't think anyone will notice.
I swear, someday I'm going to mount a router in my work bench. My router table is too small to run the drawer bottom groove around a drawer this size.
Here's some pics. Thanks for looking.
Drawer slide assembly
All done. Finish is a couple coats of minwax antique oil finish
