The Basics While this is a utilitarian work cart for the shop, we expended a little extra effort (veneer tape on the plywood edges and no exposed screw heads) to make it a more finished-looking project while maintaining the solid, simple construction details. The cart joinery is a collection of butt joints. We used a new product on the market, Miller Dowels, to assemble all the butt joints. This is a stepped wood dowel that replaces the screws and plugs the holes left by the drill bit at the same time.

To allow the three smaller drawers to slide in and out of the case, you need to cut 1/2"-wide x 3/8"-deep dados in the left side of the case and in the left side of the center divider. Lay out the dado locations - according to the illustrations - then cut them using either a dado stack in your saw, repeated cuts with a circular saw, or with a straight bit, using two passes to achieve the full depth. There is 1/2" of space between each of the drawers and we worked from the bottom up, leaving a larger gap above the top drawer to allow clearance for the door catches.
