After fitting these, lay out and cut the dadoes for the back of the drawer.

Prepare the bottom of the drawer thus: the grain should run right and left, never front and back.

If the drawer is so long as to require it, glue-joint the bottom, and fit it snugly to place.

There need be no play right and left, and the bottom should extend as far back as the sides.

If necessary, bevel the under side to fit the grooves.
