Mounting Drawer Under Bench

I think you only need two sides (and possibly a bottom) to hold your drawer.

something like this, perhaps:

I needed a bottom on that – otherwise the sides separated, and the drawer slides came apart.

Jim, The quickest and simplest is to just screw 2 boards with rabbits or dados to the underside of your bench and then add matching strips along the sides of your drawers. If this didn’t make sense, send me a pm and I’ll take pics of mine as I have 4 drawers under my bench that I did this way.

even cake pan or plastic trays
with a fin out at the top
and two runners with rabbets
screwed under the top
will make good drawers

Here are a couple of drawer ideas I used in my shop. All scrap, quick, and free! The drawer in the third pic is 4’ deep and slides effortlessly. Wax the rabbits and runners and they will glide.

Some good ideas above, or another idea would be to use a steel bracket that would support the drawer and glides. You can buy those at woodworking outlets.
