Create A Drawer Box. Using 12 side clearance drawer slides makes determining the width of the drawer super easy. Pick the perfect wood species to match your project choose from white oak maple natural beech red oak cedar walnut and more.
Choose the Baltic Birch Plywood Drawer Box for our best value in a dovetail drawer boxes. Cut your 2 side pieces to the depth you want minus the thickness of the front and back. Subtract 1½ from the width to come up with the size of wood to cute for the width.
Not visible are 8 pocket holes and screws that attach the back and front to the sides.
Best of all this technique allows you to cut all parts of the joint with just a dado blade and a single setup on the tablesaw. The depth of the drawer box will. Start with 44 1 rough stock and saw it into individual drawer pieces front back and sides. To continue with our super easy theme I like to stick with 12 clearance on all sides.
