Where to Buy Underneath Center-Mount

I'm refinishing an old dresser. The drawers all have center-mounted slides on the bottom that need to be replaced (sample photo below). For the life of me, I can't seem to find these.

All I can seem to find at Home Depot are the kind that mount to the side or bottom of the drawer - those unfortunately won't work with this piece of furniture. Any thoughts on where to look?

Furniture, Wood and Cabinetry Finishing
4x4 table legs, particle board and replacing the apron on a table

K

kjh9835 on May 15, 2014

The top and apron are particle board, the legs are tapered 4x4 posts that are held in place with screws and an angled piece of wood that also joins the corners of the table. The screws are large/long and go thru the angled piece into the legs which have some kind of metal tube/inserts that also have loosened, not coming out but the holes are too big/screws too small. The surface is in decent shape and it is very heavy but of course with years of moving and use, the legs and apron now need repair. I'm thinking I could use plywood and cut it the same size as the underneath of the table and glue it in place. That would make new wood for metal brackets to join the apron to the top instead of triangle shaped pieces of wood along all the edges, make new apron pieces out of 1x4 (size they are now) wood not particle board and use metal brackets to join the corners. Do I try to remove the metal tubes/inserts or just get next bigger size of screws? Am I even on the right track? I don't want to waste time and money if it's just gonna fall apart in a couple months but also don't want to toss a good table top just because the legs are wobbly.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, but it looks like it might be my best place to help solve my problem. I've search high and low on the internet, and everyone is telling you how to apply stain and polyurethane but, no one seems to be explaining what causes poly to look like mine is looking. I will attach some pics. I don't consider myself a "professional finisher" by no means, however, I've always had a knack for working with wood and finishes, but I have NEVER run into a situation like I'm dealing with now. I'm customizing a new Jon boat that I bought back in April of 2012. It's a long story so I give you the short version. I purchased an HVLP Sprayer from Rockler Wood Working. I understand Harbor Freight sells one exactly like mine. I think it's a Chicago Electric??? At any rate, last year I used a sheet of Arauco plywood cut to fit for the floor in my boat. After sanding, I used this HVLP sprayer to shoot Minwax Helmsman Polyurethane, straight out of the can, no thinning at all, and I got a beautiful finish! I have to do all my spraying outside, no paint room, so I'm out in the sun and wind. Same last spring when I did the floor, and like I said, it turned out really nice! So far this spring, I've had to take a putty knife and scrape the finish back off of all of this wood....TWICE...sanded back down to bare wood, took my gun apart....AGAIN....just to double check for cleanliness, no dirt, nothing plugged, changed the nozzle and needle....and I'm still getting the same effect!!! Also using a brand new can of the poly, so it hasn't been froze, or gotten old. Guys........I'm about to completely lose my mind! After this last coat, I came totally....unglued!!!!!!:madhell: Looking at this finish, it reminds me of what you might see if I were using a large two stage air compressor with no filter on it and it was spurting out little spots of oil with the poly, however......that is not the case! The three times that I've shot this poly so far this year, the temps were mid 60's to mid 70's, and some wind, full sunshine. Some of this wood, the final finish isn't really that important to me because it's going to get carpet glued to it. But the two pieces that are stained, I want a top-notch finish on them. Note: I've tried spraying the poly on so "thin" that it barely covered the wood, and I still get the same effect. It's almost like there is some sort of oil in or on the wood, which to my knowledge....is impossible! It's almost like it drying on top before it can flow and level, but truthfully...I don't think that's it either! But, regardless of whether or not some of the wood is going to get carpet glued to it or not....I need to find out what in the heck is causing that poly to act the way it is and........I can not find any kind of logical reason for it. At least, not to my somewhat limited knowledge of finishing. Any help, knowledge or information on this matter will be [B]GREATLY[/B] appreciated!!!! Please look closely at the pics. Thanks in advance! DennisRead More
