If your building yourself an industrial drawer, like 400 lbs industrial! Check out Lee Valley Double-Locking Extra-Heavy-Duty Slides here… they offer them from 18″ all the way up to 48″ with 3 steps in between. An idea here: I was thinking of something like this to hold my power tools, in a drawer, so they don’t get covered in dust, right now I shelf them and it’s hell when the dust is all over the place. Just never found the right slides to hold the weight.
Remember when i was very, very young and I was watching live footage of a crowd in communist Russia. The one thing I asked my father was why everyone was dressed the same? He laughed and explained that they only manufacture one thing, unlike us we compete with each other and make different and/or better stuff.
However it sometimes makes me sad to walk around some neighborhoods and often think back to that day, with all the same sheds, garage doors and shutters, it’s a horrible sight. It comes to our laziness I guess and I’m just as guilty as many others. See? We think it’s easier getting all the same stuff at our local hardware store when in fact there are many small manufacturers that really care about the products they make.
I came across Shuttercraft’s catalog the other day and realized how damn ugly my bathroom indoor shutters are after considering that I could have had them in cedar to match the other aspects. I think I’ll get smarter from now on, and a little patience and thinking might just give me a little more gratification in the end. Be sure to check out their indoor and outdoor online catalogs with gorgeous styles they manufacture. Here’s the link…
With over 65,000 items in stock, you should be sure to find what your looking for when it comes to decorative and architectural products. From door tracks, to angle moldings, to TV lifts, to those little shiny things that you have no clue what they are for. They have a huge online catalog which you can also order printed. See them here…
Remember when I showed you the industrial recessed soap holder? Well I ran across the industrial light switch cover from the same company: www.awdirect.com. If you need it hard, now everything will match. 
You can see them here….
