Cut the 3/4-inch plywood pieces for the sides of the drawer boxes. The drawer boxes are approximately 10.5 inches tall. Use a router or table saw to cut dadoes (grooves) into the drawer box sides to accommodate a 1/4-inch plywood bottom. Apply edge banding to the exposed plywood edges for a finished look. Drill pocket holes into the ends of the drawer box components and assemble the boxes using screws. Finally, attach the other half of the drawer slides to the newly assembled drawer boxes.
