Please Note: No roller bearings for side of draws !!! my are flat to the bottom with with 2x 50x22 mm and 1x 100x22 in the middle to support draw weight and sides very tight as you don't much movement on the go . I do have a brass to stop draw from coming out to far.
Looks good mate, for the sliding part of it can I suggest strips of nylon instead of the strips of ply you have there. You can lubricate the nylon with beeswax or something similar and would slide a lot better. Looks good though, not bad for a weekends work.
The Top was made out of 2 sheets , first 1 was cut down to match the left side with some over hang to line up with the base , the second sheet was left over piece which matched the right side and give me 1300X900mm Top to work with . I glued them to together and trim the 2 sides with 50X22mm and a 200mm X 900 on the right side to butt up to the patrol storage on inside of back.
I used alot of screws and lickward nails ( 50% strong one) and reused the GU tie down backets and did all this last weekend , Hope this helps if someone else is going to make one up on there spare weekend :-) have fun cheers Alex
