I made it a little while ago and the drawer wasn't made quite right. It's a small table and when I go to pull the drawer out it pulls the table too. If I hold onto the top of it and wiggle it up and down it pulls out eventually. I plan on giving it to my dad for father's day, given the fact that I can get it perfect by then...Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might try rubbing the edges of the drawer with parrafin or candle wax, that would help the drawer slide easier. Another thought is you might try sanding the edges down just a slight bit at a time until it slides better.
I hope this helps.

If you want the drawer to slide easily, go to a Home Improvements store and purchase a pair of drawer slides. They come in different lengths, depending on how deep the drawer is. You need to install them on the drawer itself, and on the side of where the drawer slides into the opening, similar to Kitchen cabinet drawers.

Be sure you don't leave to sharp an edge on the drawer. Also try some candle wax.

Take a bar of fairly dry bath soap and run it over the wood where it rides along the track or rail and do those too. It will glide easier.

If its wood on wood try Ivory Soap on one or both edges that are touching.
