now for drawer assembly i had to make sure i actually had the rabbets fitting together in the right order turns out i could actually screw up my final drawer dimensions if i got that wrong so i had to pay attention adding a lot of glue at each joint and then clamping them tight and then here adding those screws at each joint for some extra strength and actually clamping now i'm actually not so much worried about squareness right now the bottom will or should bring them all into square frankly these are blazing drawers there's a hundred different ways to build drawers but frankly if you add a lot of screws with this design it's going to be plenty strong especially considering it's holding up goldfish crackers and applesauce pouches
