   OK, I know the magazine has done a couple of articles on that subject in the past. You might do a search in the archives if you want to find some design suggestions.

   Since you didn't really ask a question, I'm assuming you want my opinion on the subject. I've built drawers the old fashioned way (a wood box fitting fairly tightly within a framed cabinet space), drawers that ride on waxed hardwood cleats mounted within the frame, and drawers mounted on ball-bearing slides (side and undermount) or Euro-style epoxy-coated slides. To my mind, the choice of which of those three methods to use is very much dependent on the project at hand: a reproduction of an 18th-cent. desk or secretary deserves the first one mentioned, but for contemporary kitchen or bathroom cabinetry I'd use one of the manufactured metal slides.
