Hi Jim, thanks for that. that is a sure easier way that what I used on my last project. I put a dado in each of the sides of the drawer and then added a "L" shaped piece from the inside of the top that would run inside the dado. There are a 100 ways to fit a drawer!

Hi Alex, here are a couple of pics of how i did the drawers.

Because these drawers won't be used that frequently I opted just to install guides made from some leftover 3/8 hardboard for the bottom and a couple of pieces of 2x scrap for the sides.

On the back of the drawer I glued a guide to keep the drawer from tipping when it is pulled out.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction.  I have considerable experience with conventional…
