My proto info says 2.5" clearance. Too long ago to remember where I got that info. Doubt that anyone will be over with an .029" feeler gauge to check. That .030 sounds fine to me. Rick

"stopping these..." [was:Thinning...]
Lawrence, It may be necessary to quit the group with the "stop these..." account and rejoin with a name you want. Silly, but it may work. Rick

That's what the wax on the slides is for and a 1" offset isn't that much off of center. Modelers that use a lot of scale lumber probably can come up with their own unique solution. Still like the scre

Bill, Like the new design. Some thoughts: You can probably set the drawers with only 1/16" clear below. That can deepen the drawer or shorten the sides. Sometimes it is good to have a stop that can be

Bill, If you use a hardwood like oak for the slides and pin and glue them in, they should be fine. Not a lot of weight will be in the drawers. What I don't see are any rabbets where the drawer slides

Bill, Resin printers would have no problem with rivets. The filament printers can handle it if the rivets aren't too small. I can do tests if it helps. Rick
