I want to build a jewelry box for my daughter. I'm planning on making it out of 1/2" hardwood and I'm looking for suggestions on the joinery for 4 drawers that will pull out from the front. The drawer material will be 1/4" or 3/8" stock.
The thin material leads me to believe that I am somewhat limited. I am leaning toward rabbeting the front to accommodate the sides and butt joining the back with glue and pin nails.
Are there other joints I should be considering? I may do box joints for the box but don't want them on the drawers.
