been awhile since i gave anything back, and have asked a few questions in the past months. so seeing as how its the season to give for some folks i had a small job come in that needed 40" slides.. went to price them and decided that wasnt in the budget.. so used some of what i had laying around in the scrap bin.. and came up with a solution..
in the first pic you see the parts milled out of some ash, ash is one of the hardest woods around and stays straight well and wears like iron.
in the second pic i have labeled them so as to put them together in the right sequence, it saves time to write notes rather than rely on memory
in the third pic i have marked them for screw spacing to drill holes make all the same to save time again, if they line up across from each other offset one side.
in the forth pic i have used spacers to maintain position and also a spacer for clearance, and the last trick to help things out is to pin nail it in place.
in the fifth and sixth pics show the screws installed and the final proof it works. with the allowance already spaced made the fit easier, just add some wax and she is ready to slide away without the snow
