Hi there! As the title says, I'm going to build a chest of drawers using 18 mm poplar plywood and I was thinking about using rabbet joints to assemble both the structure and the drawers.
For the drawers, since there's a pull/push force involved directly on the front panel, I was thinking about cutting the sides so then I can use nails/screws from the side into the front.
But what about the structure of the chest? I was thinking about cutting the back panel all over the perimeter and making a rabbet joint with all the other panels. And for joining top/bot to the sides I don't know what to do.. Should I cut the sides so I can drive nails/screws from the side or should I drive them from the bottom?
Btw for the joints I was thinking of cutting a space of 18 mm at a 10 mm depth.. So there would be a shoulder of 8 mm left.
I'm pretty new to woodworking so every advice is more than welcomed!! Thanks in advance to everyone who will reply!
