Howdy Ya'll. I'm trying to build a corner base cabinet (triangle shape) for the bathroom. The only ideas I can find make use of doors and I'd like to include a drawer just above the doors. How do I make a trangle shaped drawer that can be pulled out only about 2 thirds of the way and still stay flat and not sag down. I thinking of using a bottom ball bearing slide with something like a trolley on the top of the rear of the drawer. Also what kind of joinery to use to hold the hold drawer together.

I glad to be with you folks and getting new ideas (for me). Inventory of tools: Table saw, Radial Arm saw, Compound mider chop saw, Disk and belt sander, a couple routers (bin and small), Biscuit cutter, bench to drill pressand a bunch of the usual hammers, files, knives, clamps, drills and nailers.

The weather today 11/27/13 = 37 this morning and 40 at 4 pm. What is like in Australia? :2tsup:

Ohh and the triangular drawer? If it were me I wouldn't use drawer runners etc I'd hinge it from one corner and have it pivot out! :2tsup:
