Well it took me a while but I did it. I fixed my dresser drawer and I didn’t have to resort to super glue.
The set of dresser drawers were a housewarming gift from my aunt 5 years ago. Now the plastic slidey thingies that let the drawer slide in and out are starting to crumble as old plastic does. Well the plastic crumbled for my sock drawer and I had a choice of (a) fixing it or (b)just letting it hang open until I fixed it. So I went to fix it.
I keep a lot of wood scraps in the underground cellar (short people basement) as you never know when you are going to need some wood for a project. Unfortunately all the wood was either too thick or too thin for my needs. I looked around and wondering if there was anything I could use as a brace and noticed I had a lot of bamboo stored. Bamboo is strong but splits so I taped up the portions I was sawing with the hand saw to minimize the splitting. Then I took the bamboo, some screws and my drill, drilled pilot holes and made a bamboo brace. After a few adjustments I now have a fully functioning dresser drawer. Yey!
