Hello Everyone!
Ok, I thought I'd just let you know what's happening. Well I started getting to work on the upper drawer, and it is most of the way finished, but I was having some troubles with it dropping off the rollers and sitting straight. I realised that the problem was that the two staples at either end were leaning out away from each other. (Sally may have helped in pointing that out, slightly)
So anyways, now the plan is to run a small piece of wood along the just underneath but down the middle of the pane of glass. This will hold the top of the staples the correct distance apart, give the whole thing a much better level of rigidity, and have the added bonus of supporting the glass along its length.
Unfortunately this means that there'll be a lot more at the top of the cabinet than I expected, and so I don't know exactly how deep that top drawer can be. I don't mind it being shallow, I just need to know how low all the extra stuff is going to come so I can make the drawer shallow enough to not hit any of it. This has the annoying side-effect that I kind of need the glass so I can figure all this out. So there I am right now, trying to get a piece of glass for my cabinet so I can build the stuff to support the glass so I can build the drawer to sit under the glass.
So in short, stuff has stalled slightly, but it will be progressing soon!
