Draws: knickers or other undergarments.
Drawers: sliding boxes, usually of wood.
For a workshop I can't see why you wouldn't use drawer runners, other than cost, if that's your preference.

Cheers yes drawers is the correct term brain wasn't in gear LOL.
I was thinking extending runners best solution,cost is a consideration as got about 50 odd drawers to do but in a years time the cost will be forgotten but the inconvenience of the drawers not opening fully will still be with me!

I am now into fitting my 50 drawer setup. The first forty four have three quarter extension runners, the last six have full extension (they ran out of the 3/4). The cost was £1.80 for 500mm 3/4 and £5.90 for the full. I just didn’t want to run the extra £200 on the runners. The 3/4 ones do hide 100mm of the drawer contents, but they don’t really cause a problem. The full extension ones I will use on the 800mm wide unit, all the rest were 500mm or 600mm wide. Think if I did it again, I would still begrudge the £200.sumo2001":ik77axzi said:

You're right, and I was wrong. Architects are used to having to say that to engineers. :lol:

Yes, but even ‘stuff’ like finishes, abrasives, all hand tools, tool accessories (they go walking for a past time, spare blades, special size Allen keys etc ) will be suuuper organised. Probably find half will be empty and I’ve gone way over the top, but at least everything will have a place and hopefully will be in it. :?

I agree - you only need enough for the ones in the wash, whilst you are wearing today's and a spare pair for whilst the other ones are drying
Sorry. I'll get my hat, coat....
