    Great drawers mate. Look fantastic. May I offer some advice. I too have some home mades, I can't see if u have any latches to keep them closed but I don't. Even though I too don't have bearings or rollers (mine is just wood on wood with some wax candle rubbed on it) doesn't matter how much weight is in it on steep rough climbs they do come open and hit the barn doors. My handles also damaged the door interiors. So your table might also need a strap.
    I wish mine were as neat as yours!!!! I have been looking at adding a table hutch like yours for a while.... Inspiration!

    nice job mate, welcome aboard. I am in the process of making my own set at the moment you arent wrong about the cost creeping up. but its all worth it, and still a lot cheaper than bought ones that is for sure when I am finished I will post the pics.

    Thanks for the tip about the latches, I will get something sorted, might use some left over ute tonneau bungees to hold the table in it's spot. I bought a pair of small barrel latches they are sitting in the shed.

    Good looking drawers, makes me want to finish off all the other half finished jobs I've got around the house, so I can start another one.
