Hi all,
I am building a small drawer for my dutch tool chest. The drawer front has a slight bow, so I'm wondering if I can glue/clamp the front of the drawer bottom in the groove on the back of the drawer front to pull out the bow without issue? I would then elongate the hole through which I screw the bottom into the back. I know what's typical is to leave some room for expansion in the groove of the drawer front. The bottom is Douglas fir. Let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance.
