Sorry, not quite with you there, I know it's going to be difficult to explain on t'internet but is tehre a diagram or something you could point me at? Would love to be better at drawers |
Are saying I should oversize drawer fronts for inset drawers, and plain to fit? |

If a drawer (front) sits within a frame, the sides should be 2-3 mm wider than the front, or at least that much lower if the sides & front have been machined to the same width...the easiest way to visualise it is to always think of the finished drawer, & not as pieces ie sides, front etc....I know this sounds complicated but trying to put it simply, to fit the drawer correctly & more easily, you need a bit more on the bottom of the sides than on the bottom of the front.... |

Drawers are very simple
Conventional drawers rely on components being flat; edges being parallel; ends being square....
meet these criteria & not much can go wrong
careful assembly makes a big difference ie careful & precise & not over zealous cramping; & no excess glue !
If ever you venture into dovetailing by hand or machine, golden rule is that dovetails only go together once |

They're basically boxes
Dovetails....google it & see what you think
They are not obligatory in the construction of drawers |

He's using Fairy tabs though. Capitalist running dog of the imperialist Procter and Gamble hegemony that he is.
The cupboards look nice mind. |
