Wooden drawers in cabinets, dressers and closets can often wear, resulting and less than smooth opening and closing. This is pretty simple fix; replacing the nylon glide on the underneath of the drawer, swap old or missing screws for new ones or using a wood glue, like EcoGlue Premium Wood, for loose dovetail joints.

Need help? Some resources for getting your drawers moving smoothly.

Birdhouse

The instructions and diagram seem very simple – if only I could get the swallow’s that nest under my front porch eaves every year to move in to such a home! Try EcoGlue Premium Wood Glue for the adhesive the instructions recommend.
