Yes, the drawer sides are 1/2" thick due to the drawers being suspended. The
runners are maple for durability, and are just glued to the top edge of the
drawer side (hide glue). I think they'll hold just fine unless we start putting
ten pound weights in the drawers.

Not sure if it's a byproduct of having 5s hammered into my head for decades or
I'm just anal, but I habitually sweep up after every shop session.

That’s right purdy Dennis. I did not want to be impolite and ask why the drawer
sides were so thick, then I realized the drawers are top hung. How are the
runners attached to the drawer sides? Oh, and your shop is still too clean.
