something is wedging my cutlery drawer shut, we’ve tried a long wooden spoon and a metal rod but its not budging. unfor, it is on runners so we cant unscrew it, or take the front off, any ideas?

That is the only way I get a draw unwedge.

If I have somewhat an opening I stick a wooden spoon and tilt it upwards and move whatever is blocking it.

There has to be some sort of screws underneath the draw that you can remove the runners.

If not, pull and pull real hard till whatever is blocking may break.

That’s what I do, when I get soooo mad at it. lol

I have 600 pieces of silver cutlery (to be used at a wedding later this year) we have just finished washing and polishing it and now need a convenient way to store it without getting in all tarnished again.

Any ideas?

Assuming it really is silver, you need to keep it away from sulfur compounds. A silver chest is the usual answer, but there are also fabrics and sulfur-scavenging papers that can be used.

e.g.: http://www.silverguard.com/c-6-pacific-silvercloth.aspx

Don’t know anything about the silverguard company, but I have used both Pacific Silvercloth and the 3M strips for years.
