What happens here

Use 1/2-inch maple plywood to construct the large storage drawer that will fit under the lower bunk. Cut the plywood pieces to form the bottom and sides of the drawer using butt joints. Apply wood glue to all mating surfaces and assemble the drawer box using a brad nailer. For added durability, reinforce the joints with construction screws. Ensure the drawer is sized to allow a 1/2-inch gap on the sides and is approximately 14 inches deep, based on the bed frame and desired storage.

Goal: Build the large under-bunk storage drawer using 1/2-inch maple plywood, butt joints, glue, and brad nails, reinforced with screws.
