Hey folks, I am finally relocating in the house to gain additional space. I've got a plan for a desk/work surface, but I was trying to figure out how I could make a good solid drawer. I guess I could figure some of this out like making a groove in the sides to fit the bottom into and if I did this, what router bit would be best suited for making that type of groove and I imagine I'd have to find one that is the same thickness as the board I want to fit all the sides on too. Now as far as getting all the sides connected. I guess I could just run some screws into the ends and that would work, but is there a better way or a way that might not necessarily be better, but might make for a stronger drawer? I did a little reading on dovetail joints, but I suspect this is way out of my skill level at this point. I believe those joints are like fingers that interlock at a 90 degree angle and are I imagine either glued or just pressure fitted. In any event, any thoughts appreciated. If anyone is interested, I'm going to take two counter tops and use a piece of melamine (however that's spelled) and use that to make the corner piece of the l which will keep me from having to rip the edge of the counter top partially off or trying to rip a 90 degree angle on both halves. That is how it looks like they did the counter tops in our kitchen. They cut the two tops at a 90 degree angle and slapped them together. Nothing wrong with this but gee I got this nice scrap lying here, might as well try to put it to good use. Well actually this does bring up one other question. If I wanted to cut the top at a 90 degree angle, how would I use the miter cross cut tool on my table saw? I know that might seem like a silly question, but I haven't used the gage yet so not sure exactly how I would use that while pushing the wood through.
