I've been (slowly) working on a new kitchen drawer box for the silverware. The current 30+ year old particle board box is falling apart so it needs to be retired.
Drawer boxes are fairly simple, and I'm not doing anything crazy to complicate it. 1/2 ply with rabbet joints, 1/4 plywood bottom sitting in a groove, and the existing false front will get screwed to the new box.
I have a good miter saw, a good router ( no table), POS table saw and POS circular saw. Ideally I would have a nice table saw and a dado set to bang all of this out, but alas I do not.
Ripping the drawer panels was easy enough, and 2 passes later the groove for the bottom was cut. Some quick cuts on the miter saw and the 4 sides were set.
The table saw miter gauge is missing, so that was not an option for cutting the rabbets. I opted to use a 1/2 inch top bearing router bit. I glued up a 1" thick guide for it then ran it through the table saw to get one clean edge.
Ripping the router guide. I gave up on the table saw fence and used my trusty circular saw guide
Getting the rabbet setup correct with some scrap pieces
Dry fitting the pieces
Still need to sand everything before I glue it up. Still trying to decide if I want to tack in some brads too. Also undecided if I will try to round the top edges
