These drawers will change your life

This video will cover a simple method for constructing drawers. This is what is know as the quarter, quarter, quarter drawer method. While the name can be a little misleading in most applications, it is an excellent way to make drawers, especially if you have a lot to make. The best part, they require no fasteners at all to make.

    I liked this method so well that i bought a cheap used 10" portable table saw, set it up for this cut (with 2 71/4" blades with paper shims) and now dedicated it for cutting drawers only. Works absolutely great and saves lots of setup time, and goes out of the way on a shelf till needed again. I named it my "rabbet lock joint saw" lol

I think you're one of the best at it on KZread. I have learned a lot from you on how's and why's, fixturing, which tools you use for which applications, and methods. I have become a better woodworker as a result and have replicated several of your builds. Thank you, and keep them coming!

    Very well explained & demonstrated. For those of us that cannot support a dado blade, we would make the first cut on each piece, move the fence a few mm & repeat until you reach the desired width. It's more time consuming, but it works. I tend to use the router table. Couple of test pieces & I'm ready.

    Set the distance between the blade and fence first and run a sacrificial piece through with the blade set roughly .75 inch high (as long as its more than .5 inch) and set it aside. (The sacrificial piece should be longer (and >10in) than wide so safer/easier to run vertically against the fence) Next proceed to set the blade height and make cuts. When you do the rabbets use the sacrificial piece as a stop block and you can run the rabbets horizontally using the miter gauge. Hope that made sense.

    I was going to suggest that since he used a setup block to set the initial distance, he could stick that against the fence near the front and use it as a stop block. You need to make sure you don't drag it forward as you cut and ensure that you're firmly holding the piece against your miter gauge,but should serve as a decent alternative method.

    Great video, Jason! I've used this method for 95% of my drawer construction most of my career! One thing that can be done to mitigate the vertical cut is this: When it comes time to cut the grooves for the bottom panel, add a 6mm (1/4") sacrificial fence to the table saw. This allows you to place the front/back flat on the table and make the cut in the same fashion as the sides are dadoed! You want an exact fit, so the end of the workpiece ends up flush with the edge of the saw blade, but it works beautifully, and you still don't have to move the fence or the blade. This can be a much safer technique to cut those pesky Rabbets...lol

This 1/4” piece is called “sacrificial” because often in other applications - say when you need to cut a narrow sliver of wood - the blade can run into this sacrificial piece of plywood without damaging your real saw fence. In the case we’re discussing here, the “sacrificial” fence is being used as a spacer only: It is decreasing the space between your real fence and your blade by 1/4”. Understand?

    That was a great demonstration with the panels marked up like that. I’m very new to this level. First time cabinet and drawers. I just built a mobile cabinet for my new portable/jobsite 8 1/4 table saw. I just finished cutting the panels for the drawers using this method. I just bought a Freud 6” stacked dado set that gave extremely accurate and clean bottom cuts. Unfortunately It didn’t hit me that the set didn’t start out smaller than 1/4” width. I had to make the change when it came to cutting the rabbets. No big deal, I still cut them using the vertical method because I wanted the experience. I am going to make some sort of vertical guide jig that I can eventually use for lap joints or tenons. I think I would also consider using 1/2” poplar for the next set of drawers. It could be me rushing the cuts but some of the birch plywood ended up with nasty looking voids or gaps that help the looks or fit of some of the joints. Again thanks for being straightforward and concise.

    If anyone is concerned about holding the pieces vertically to cut the rabbit, you can use a little two-sided tape and adhere your spacer block (the one you used for set up) to the table saw top, back from the blade of course, and run your pieces through on the flat. But yeah, great, simple, solid drawer construction.

    Rob has an excellent suggestion. Cut the rabbets similar to how the side datos were cut. On the other side of the wood of course. To make a rabbet instead of a dato the wood must be 6mm from the fence at all times. The spacer block can do this provided you keep it behind the blade.

    Great information, I cheated though, I bought a pre-cut drawer side from Rockler years ago and used that for my set up block. Works perfectly. Almost all of my drawers build's have been side mounts. Might have to try undermount's some day. The only thing different from your method is I sometimes add dowels to the front sides for contrasting color, and it doesn't hurt for strengthening the joint making it a bit more slam proof.

    It's a good method for most drawers and one I have used for utility drawers. But if you want to use an undermount slide like a Blum Tandem, the 1/4" distance from the underside of the bottom isn't enough. I always have that set at 12mm (1/2"). The dimension from any cross rail or cabinet bottom to the underside of the drawer is has to be 28mm to have enough space for the mechanism.

For me, since I don't have a custom plate for the table saw, I'll just make all my rabbit cuts last and on their sides after resetting the saw setup with a sacrificial fence. Yah, it kind of kills the idea of one setup, but I have no other choice and want to be safe (like you pointed out at 12:10).

    All you would need is a spacer attached to the fence, positioned before the blade, that is half the thickness of your work pieces. In Jason's case, a 6mm spacer. Then you can lay your work piece flat on the table, using your miter gauge. Start the work piece against the spacer, hold it firmly in place against the miter gauge and run it past the blade. You don't have to mess with the saw set up. The only variable is the thickness of your spacer.

    Nice video, I found it very helpful. However I thought there was a little too much "wiggle room". I tried this with ½" (12 mm) plywood and the dado was just a bit too wide. When using plywood that is slightly less than ½" because with a stacked dado blade set you can't cut a dado less than ¼" wide (well as far as I know anyway). I figured I wasn't the first woodworker to run into this limitation (cutting a dado slightly less than ¼") so I researched it and found a solution that I like. The short answer is to use three 7 ¼" circular saw blades (they are only 1/16" thick) and some dado blade shims (I use Forest magnetic dado blade shims). The long answer is to stack three 7 ¼" 18 tooth circular saw blades and some dado blade shims together. I thought it best to use an 18 tooth saw blade so there is room between the teeth to stack the blades flush. For shims I use Forest magnetic dado shims because they can’t slide down into the saw arbor's threads causing inconsistent dado widths (which is a royal PITA when trying to achieve a precise dado width). If you have a Saw Stop (I have the professional cabinet saw model) then you’ll have a problem to overcome with the brake cartridge because a 7 ¼” blade will leave too much of a gap between the blade and the blade brake causing the system initialization to fail, even when using the bypass. To get past this I cut a piece of aluminum angle iron about 2” long and cut its width to 1 ⅝” and taped it the 10” blade brake using electrical tape and then enabled the safety bypass. Do this at your OWN risk! Now that I know this method works I will find a better solution to fool the Saw Stop brake cartridge. The result is a perfectly wide dado exactly half the width of the plywood. For me I am using ½” (12 mm) baltic birch so I needed a dado very slightly less than 6 mm wide. I used the three 7 ¼" 18 tooth circular saw blades made by Skill and one 0.015 magnetic shim for a perfect 6 mm wide dado . However, the bottom was not a flush plane… the were kerf marks. I did not have a router plane narrow enough to clean that up. So that was what I had to settle with. But I think it is a good enough dado for drawers. Hope somebody finds this helpful.

    At 8:05 you start the explanation about safety that includes “there’s no other way to do it.” While I agree with your ultimate conclusion about the balance of safety for this specific situation, I think it’s important to be aware of what the other options are that might be needed in similar situations. The next level of safety would be to use a slide box, safer yet when combined with some type of hold-down clamp. Again, I think you’re right that what you’re doing is reasonably safe. I just think we shouldn’t tell people it’s the only way to do it when there are other methods that can make this type of operation safer when needed.

My drawer bottoms are large so cutting the rabbit all around was difficult to keep it cutting properly, i.e. I wiggled a bit but when assembled can't see it. And best of all, the drawers bit perfectly in the cabinet! Thanks for a great video. Really looking forward to your video on the assembly table base..

    I have an INCRA LS positioner fence. I cut a piece of scrap 3/4” plywood the width of my fence and attached another piece of 3/4” plywood at right angle flush to the front of the fence using dominoes. This forms a support for the vertical cuts without the need for a sacrificial fence. It is held in place with T bolts, wing nuts, and washers.

I've tried the "1/4" method (for "1/2in." plywood) several times and the corners have never come out right . . . because I would set 1/4" up and 1/4" out then try to adjust to make everything fit, despite knowing that the plywood was 12 mm, not 12.7mm. That just never worked. Now I have the secret sauce! And the 1/4 in. (6.35mm) dado stack provides a little slop for the glue. Wonderous, thanks!

One thing I am having trouble wrapping my head around, mostly because measurements is something that I constantly battle is determining the width of your front and back pieces. Say I want a drawer that is 10 inches wide and I am using side mount drawer slides that measure 1 inch total and using 1/2 inch plywood. For my front and back pieces would I subtract 1 inch for the drawer slides, 1 inch for the thickness of the combined material of the side pieces then add 1/2 for the Dados? brining my total length of the front and back pieces to 8 1/2 inches wide? Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

    The dados will depend on the depth. For example on 1/2” material if I wanted a 10 wide drawer, and I was doing a 1/4” dado using 1/2” ply. My front and back piece would be 9 1/2”. 9+1” for the two sides. The a 1/4” for the additional material on each end to fit in the dado.
