What happens here

Cut half-inch maple plywood for the drawer sides and quarter-inch maple plywood for the drawer bottoms. Create a quarter-inch groove into the drawer sides using two passes on a table saw. These grooves will securely hold the drawer bottoms without the need for glue, allowing for wood movement. Assemble the drawer boxes using wood glue and pocket holes, ensuring they are square and sturdy. These drawers are designed to be light yet robust.

Goal: Build strong and light drawers using half-inch maple plywood for the sides and quarter-inch maple plywood for the bottoms, recessed in grooves.
