What happens here
For the drawer boxes, use a table saw with a dado stack (or make multiple passes with a standard blade) to cut a quarter-inch slot along the bottom edge of the drawer side and front pieces. This slot will accommodate the plywood bottom panel. Assemble the drawer boxes using wood glue and pocket hole screws. For the drawer faces, cut poplar wood to the desired dimensions (e.g., 11 inches tall, 18 inches wide). Round over the edges of the drawer faces with a router for a softer, child-friendly look, then sand them smooth. Attach the drawer faces to the assembled drawer boxes using screws.
Goal: Fabricate the drawer boxes and faces, ensuring a snug fit and smooth operation.
