I see that in Fine Woodworking, wood runners are usually placed by screws front and back. This however is with dimensionally stable plywood as the bearing piece. I am using solid wood. For smaller (3" high, 14" wide) drawers, what is the safest manner of attaching the wood runners?
I was thinking of glue in the rear then a couple of 18 gauge brads at the front and middle if I use a dado. If I don't use a dado for the runner I was thinking a screw in the back and a sliding slot screw in the middle and front.
Thoughts?
