How to Build Modern Nightstands

What happens here

Begin by transferring the large sheet of half-inch maple plywood from the truck to a work table. Using a measuring tape and pencil, mark out the dimensions for the drawer components. Employ a track saw or circular saw with a straight edge guide to cut the plywood sheets into the necessary sizes for the drawer sides (14 inches by 5.5 inches) and front/back panels (20.5 inches by 5.5 inches). The video shows cutting multiples of these pieces, suggesting an efficient workflow for multiple drawers. The cuts must be clean to ensure proper drawer function and appearance.

Goal: The first step involves cutting the maple plywood into precise pieces for constructing the drawer boxes, ensuring a proper fit for the drawer slides.
