Ok...Back to the build-along,eh?
Dry fit for a drawer...

Sides into a rebate on the ends of the drawer front...and
[attachment=48055]
Plywood bottom sits in a rebate as well......Back of drawer is just a simple butt joint..
[attachment=48056]
All done with glue joints...no metal fasteners were used...Let this sit a day...as Saturday I had an Open House to go to..

Lost Art Press was having one, in Covington, KY.
Got home (TIRED OUT! BUT HAPPY!) and took that drawer out of the clamps, cleaned it up a bit..test fit....hmmmm. had an 1/8" gap on BOTH ends? Grrrrr, 1/16" I could tolerate...but....decided to add thin strip to both ends...just glue them onto the drawer sides..

Front of the case sides is also End Grain...so it should match up....tomorrow I can plane the "new" sides to fit a lot better than that gappy 1/8"...
Had a panel glued up for the lid..it also came out of the clamps this morning...sanded flat as well as I could...then add Bread Board ends..

Using Tongue & groove Joints...

Letting this and the drawer "repair" sit a spell...while the shop cools back down...and me...
Stay tuned..while I decide which pair of handles to use on the 2 drawer (1 per drawer)

Thanks for sharing another build-a-long, Bandit. You are greatly appreciated for the builds, tool rehabs, and your knowledge of hand tools.
Just curious, how many boxes have you built for us; must be 15 plus.
