Has anyone ever tried to bolt 2 -16" drawer slides back to back or nestle two extensions arms on a Williams jig to save space. You know what I mean? The arm would telescope out to 32" but take up 16". That one idea I was thinking about and maybe mounting the end of the arm to the wall like the Fobert jig.
Wes I think I understand thanks. I think that maybe if I build one or even just the arm I'll get a better idea and may be able to figure out something to get it to work for me on my table.

I built a Fleischman/Williams jig (who are those guys?) a few years back, but have been wanting to modify it to mount on the wall to take up less space. I've had something in mind like that mount for awhile. I guess I'll just have to do it one of these days. I think I'll use a couple pillow blocks to make it nice and smooth. Not that it's overkill or anything...

Don, Have you ever tried to double up the drawer slides? I was looking at them in Lowes the other day and was wondering if it would work. What do think ?
