Sides for this drawer are Pine...and they need a bit of jointing. so..

A block plane as a jointer? All depends on the size of the work...
Repeat for the other front corner...

Mill the back to fit...mill a rebate to house the back...

This is the Top drawer, bottom drawer was the same at the back...

Plywood panel was a "Cut to fit" so of thing...Drawer front had also bowed a bit....clamps will take the bow out...with the help of a couple cauls..

Steven,

I am enjoying the post. The project is coming along nicely. Hopefully I am getting closer to where I will get a chance to try my hand at some of what you are doing. I think progress is being SLOWLY made toward me getting a shop.

We have another glue-up, done..
Resaw, Friday, Base work , another view.JPG
Had to cut special cauls to deal with the angled sides...This morning, those clamps came back off...2 of the cauls on the ends were trimmed to make glue blocks...once the base had been cleaned up, and leveled on the top and the "feet"...

The cauls...ends were 2 piece...trimmed the longer bottom ones to better fit inside the base....and reduced the thickness by half..
Resaw, Base Done, front view.JPG
Just glue and a clamp...with a caul between the good wood and the clamp's pad...let this sit a spell while I brushed on the Special Walnut stain....by the time I got to the base...(Has to sand a bit on the case, anyway, before the stain) I could remove the 2 clamps,,,a nice heavy bead of glue on top of the glue blocks...and press down...as I also had stained the Base, except for where the glue will go, same with the bottom of the case...

Trying to center the base under the case,,,


Let the stain dry a few hours..then a couple coats of Amber shellac...Followed by a rub down with 0000 steel wool....wiped that down...then a coat of Minwax Warm Gloss..
