    Hi, not exactly a woodworking question but I recently customised a tv unit to turn it into a vanity unit.
    To do this i needed to cut a section out of the drawers.
    Unfortunately this means the drawer now comes off its runner when pulled out a bit (see pictures)
    I dont think i have the space for undermount fixings so im wondering does anyone else have any ideas how i could get the use if the full drawer again

    Do you need that extra corner of drawer space? Presumably the cut out is for the plumbing?

    You could just move the side of the drawer in so that it's straight again (getting rid of the ply), and then box around the pipework and move the runner in, so in the end you have a narrower drawer (but the front of the drawer stays the same size) ?

    I get you,
    Hmm it might not be possible to do that now that everything is installed. I cant lift off the sink to get at the cavity in any meaningful way.
    I might be snookered as a result

    Do you need to lift the sink. Can you not just build
    the dummy box on the left hand side, slide it in an fix.

    Then as suggested make a draw to fit the ope, fit the draw runner

    on the dummy before you fit the dummy. Screw the dummy box from below.
