Power-tool Joinery With the drawer bottom face-down on the tabletop, rout all four edges. The rabbet will fit the bottom to the grooves cut for it in the fronts, sides and backs using the same bit. but the brads eliminate the need to clamp up each drawer, saving a lot of time. To do this, first join a side to the front. Then set the bottom into its grooves and add the back. Next, drop the second side into place. Check for square, shoot brads into the two remaining corners and your drawer is assembled and ready for fitting. If you don't have a pneumatic brad nailer, you can use masking tape to "clamp" small drawers. But if you're making larger drawers, you ought to use parallel-jaw clamps or bar clamps. Just apply pressure from side to side; front-to-back clamping is unnecessary. In the end, when the drawer is fitted to the case, shellacked and loaded up with whatever you've decided to store there, it'll perform as well as the ones you devoted hours crafting with dovetails. And the proof is in the performance, right? PW The drawer-lock joint works on inset drawers with integral fronts (shown here) as well as on drawers with lipped false fronts.
