I am trying to make a Jewry Box with Pivoting drawers.I saw a photo in a book (The Toolbox Book ) by Jim Tolpin. I am interested in the pivoting action of the drawers.The photo was by David Bevan on page 127.
Here is a approx jig I have made and it works,but I feel it could work better than it does. Any thoughts

Too much drag & drooping you are right on.I have been thinking of using brass rods thru brass or steel bushings. Thanks a bunch,:thumb:
 
Probably something between the bushings as well, a smooth washer would likely suffice.. If the bushings projected a wee smidge on each side that would also remove the bearing from the drawer bodies.
