    You should have your finger examined immediately - it looks gangrenous.

    Rob - are you able to put a piece of wire in what little opening there is in the drawer?

    Or just do what my dad did. Take it outside, and drop an air conditioner from the top of the garage onto it. Then buy a new one.

    Hmmmm.... Well I was sitting here and found that the face of the drawer would swing down if you slide a card along the front to release a little catch. I'm looking some more and can't find anything that is keeping the drawer from sliding out though.

    Can you reach the top rear of the drawer from underneath?

    Wait, that doesn't sound right.

    Yes.... I can reach up from underneath and with the face of the drawer swung down I can see it very clearly. It's something in the sliding mechanism on the left side of the drawer that is hanging up. I have been shining a flashlight around and can't figure it out. I will take some pictures tomorrow......

    No, Mark is only one that has tried lately. I think next thing we'll do is make sure all fasteners are secure and not hanging anything up. Besides that I'll contact Stanley and make sure we're not missing some trick.

    Have you tried pushing it in a little, wiggling, then pulling out?
    Then try it with the desk ;)
