Finally started my extruded aluminum drawer system.

I really love working with extruded aluminum. Bought all my stuff from tnutz.com, their prices are reasonable compared to 80/20 and delivery time frame isnt long (a little over a week). I used inside corner mounts for the middle uprights but thinking of changing that up and buying the drill jig so I can use Blank End Fastener instead. Any other suggestions for the middle upright?

Anyhow, have to order some 30" drawer slides as well as some plywood for the drawers and top. Definitely lighter than wood but this order right here cost me $400.

Nice, looking good....I have my second row removed and the "air down gear up" SS1 sleeper platform installed. They used 80/20 as well. Earlier on just had these different style like slide in barrel connectors and they were solid....In recent years they switched over and I am currently running with these platic L shaped corner fasteners, prob same as what you are talking about?....Its super solid. I sleep two people on top of it and when not in sleep mode it has a dog + gear running around on it....I could get a few pics if you need.

was thinking of corner/L brackets but didnt want to have it interfere w/ the drawer face
