Apply a bead of wood glue along the edges of the drawer components where they will join. Position the drawer sides, front, and back pieces to form a rectangular box. Use woodworking clamps, such as right-angle clamps or speed clamps, to hold the pieces tightly in place while driving the screws. Using a cordless drill/driver, insert pocket hole screws into the pre-drilled holes, securing the joints. Wipe off any excess glue with a damp cloth. Repeat this process for each drawer box.
