Drawers  Step 1 nailing them together

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.

Yet another tip I learned in the Headley shop. Nail the drawer sides together. Cut to length and width . Plane bottom edge so it will slide smoothly in the drawer pocket. Dovetail as a pair.

Nails for a nail gun are a good substitute for cut nails. I put one in each corner to hold the drawer sides together.
