So how many people did you have to slam to the ground to get to the sale item that some old lady was reaching for until you landed the roundhouse kick to her body Chuck Norris style and snatched it away ? Seems plausible after watching the news coverage of Black Friday and the behavior of some.  After my morning waterfowling adventure I went to the hardware store and bought a drawer slide and a bag of wood screws. About $4 total. Didn't have to hit or kick anyone.  |

Yeppers the media via retailer ads pump up the brainless public to go spend money becuase its cheaper.....(does the public really need it?) No they really dont. Amazing how the media blitzes control the publics minds.....spend-spend.... By the way did you have too much weight in drawer or over extended ? Talking about wood screws or small hardware , either you have to buy 100 pkgd screws or a pack of ten and you needed 12!!!

Nope, new kitchen drawer, just built it and put it in. Gonna do 5 more in various depths. The local hardware store is an independent and you can still buy fasteners individually, huge selection too.
I found these old dressers that were made of what looks to be cherry, so I broke them down for the wood, and ran the boards through a surface planer. Good drawer box material.

I picked up some nice cherry logs that a landowner was going to just shove off in woods. Biggest log had 18 inch base... future projects.... curing on sheltered wood pile now.

Next year I'm going to dress like a bear and attack all of the tents outside Best Buy.

People are nuts. Did all my Christmas shopping on Amazon on Thanksgiving evening. Two came today already, I am impressed. Now it's just a matter of sitting back to wait for the rest of the packages to arrive. Plus it saves a lot of money on shipping charges for presents for the grandkids in Alaska, and I don't even have to wrap them. lol
Cheers,
Pam
