September 3, 20169 yr To keep from having a cut from one drawer to the next I used a scroll saw instead of a band saw. Sure it takes a few minutes longer but the box body ends up on solid piece for the drawers and therefore seasonal changes and moisture doesn't affect the drawers near as bad. Did I say it might take a few minutes longer but hey if you got your name on it!!! I cut all the pieces out for four different boxes while camped at an rv park in Colo one summer. The better I cut these pieces, like on the lines and not all over the pattern the tighter it would all glue up and hey you got your name on it so try to make it as close fitting as possible. I drilled four holes and using these four guide pins I aligned all ten pieces of the body counting the back piece. I used welding rods for drawer pulls on three of the boxes. If you don't do a good job of cutting and gluing all these pieces together and don't forget each drawer has the same amount of pieces as the body, you can spend your vacation and two or three others sanding.
