November 30, 20178 yr comment_132819 Quick and simple, one set-up, and good to go...as long as your stock is milled to exactly 1/2". The only other downside, which isn't, is that when you cut the groove for the bottom you end up with a square through hole at the joints. Not something I would want for a piece of furniture. However, that fix is simple...just glue in a plug. Anyway, great video, thanks Keith. Report

December 1, 20178 yr comment_132860 That is even easier than using a 1/4" straight bit to do the same joint. For the bottom, I dry fit the drawer, use a band clamp to hold it together, then use a slotting bit to cut the groove for the drawer bottom. All I have to do is round the corners of the bottom to match the diameter of my slotting bit. Works wonderfully. Lee Valley makes 2 different slotting bits just for this purpose, 1 for 1/8" thick bottoms, the other for 1/4" bottoms. Report
