She's Been Asking Me to Build Her This Forever

What happens here

For the drawer boxes, 1/4 inch plywood is used for the bases and 3/4 inch common white wood is planed down to 1/2 inch for the sides, offering a cost-effective solution. The drawer box pieces are then cut to size on the table saw. The presenter notes the importance of adjusting for the thinner plywood when using pocket screws to avoid screw-through.

Goal: Plywood is selected and prepared for the drawer bases and sides, optimizing for cost and thickness for the drawer box assembly.

drawers I think I figured out a way how to save a little bit of money on these drawers not a lot but I didn't want to pay they wanted for a sheet this big $38 I found this/ quarter inch for the base to be 20 bucks and then instead of getting a/ inch for the sides I found this white commonwood which is like the cheapest wood you can find it's still 3/4 of an inch I'm going to run it through my thickness planner get it down to/ an inch and then we work the sides I'll be right back boom just like that we now have our 1/2 inch boards saved money thanks to the thickness planer gentlemen I'm trying to make sure that you're watching these videos with your wies or your significant others so that I can convince them to let you guys have the green light to buy these tools to do stuff like that so ladies it's so helpful to have a thickness planer they'll Build You Beautiful vanities I'm going to attach these with pocket holes as per you especially on the sides that you can't see it now uh for the quarter in plywood it will sit inside recess cuz it look perfectly if you're a beginner Builder you could just staple them with Brad nailers and wood glue on below that's perfectly fine it could be strong enough you can use a DAT stack which is a cumulation of blades
