Hypothetical Drawer Pull Design Question
Brad in Ottawa
>Let's just say I am making a single one off, custom, collectible drawer pull for a certain unnamed project for a unique individual!
What would be a good clearance for fingers between the drawer face and the back of the drawer?
I know there are a couple other drawer pull makers out there and I was hoping they might respond!!!
In exchange for information I promise to post a picture once done!

>Whenever I find myself making drawer pulls from defunct tools I generally find it a good idea to wrap my extralarge fingers around a pull-like object and then measure the clearance needed.
I must have done this about 100 times,including the last time about 5 minutes ago.You`d think I`d have it tattooed on my forehead or at least write it down or something.I`d probably just lose the paper,the way things are going lately.
Oh yeah,mine has a 1-1/4" standoff.Don`t ask me again an hour from now as I won`t be able to find any of my tapes.

>Bob,
If you write things on your forehead, don't forget to use mirror writing :).
How to know "one of those days":
1. Every tangle of wires you pick up seems to have an odd number of ends.
3. Much of your time is spent looking for things that were in your hand a moment ago.
2. Everything seems to happen in the wrong order.
Cheers,
Frank
