Drawer Making and Fitting

with David Charlesworth

Please note this video is only available as a Streaming Video.

In this video, David Charlesworth
shows the making and fitting of a
first class, English Arts and Craft’s
drawer.

This exhibition quality drawer has
an effortless, silky action for two
thirds of its opening. It then tightens
slightly in the carcase, preventing it
from being inadvertently pulled out.
The flush drawer slip with scratch
bead, gives an elegant result, suitable
for the storage of photographs and
documents.
