Wicked Fast Shop Drawers (Offsets & Butt Joints) - How To Install Drawer Slides EASY

Here’s an EASY way to build solid shop drawers AND install drawer slides. This “offset“ technique requires very little measuring and doesn’t require fancy tools. I’ve been building drawers like this for 5 years and they’ve all held up with zero issues. 1/2“ Baltic Birch plywood all the way around. Glue. Staples. Butt Joints. To build these drawers, I use 1/2“ Baltic Birch plywood all the way around - yes, even the bottom of the drawer. No dadoes. The technique is simple. Measure your cabinet inside, then subtract 2“ from the width, and 1“ from the depth. That’s the size of drawer bottom you need to cut. Then, build the drawer sides, front, and back around that. Glue & nail it together.
