What happens here
For the drawer boxes, cut 1/4 inch dado grooves on the table saw along the bottom interior edges of the side and front/back pieces to accept the 1/4 inch plywood bottom panel. Drill pocket holes into the ends of the front and back pieces of the drawer box. Assemble the drawer boxes with wood glue and pocket screws, then slide the plywood bottom into the dado grooves. For the drawer faces, use a router table with a 2-piece bit set to create tongue and groove joints on 1x2 pine stock. This allows for a robust frame-and-panel construction. Assemble the drawer faces with glue and clamps, ensuring they are square. After glue cures, sand the faces thoroughly.
Goal: Construct the drawer boxes using dado joints for the bottom and pocket holes for the sides, then create the decorative drawer faces with tongue and groove joinery.
