    Roddy -

    Recommend make the drawer carcass width ¼" less than the drawer opening. That will leave sufficient play for a little dust, seasonal expansion, etc.

    I generally make the drawer glides from scrap pieces of maple - ½" x ½". Route a slot in the center of the height of the drawer side a little bit over ½" wide. Wax then up with paraffin and you are all set.

    Regards,
    Ted
