What happens here

Drawer faces are constructed using a router table with specialized bits for tongue-and-groove joinery. This technique creates robust and aesthetically pleasing joints for the drawer fronts. The pieces are then glued and assembled. The builder initially makes a mistake in the type of face to construct, realizing they need 'drawer front faces' not 'cabinet front faces'.

Goal: Create robust and attractive drawer fronts using tongue-and-groove joinery.

  • Router Table — Creating tongue-and-groove joints for drawer faces
