The executive desk Monclova Oh making drawers

This week I am working on the drawers for the desk. Ive planed down some maple to 1/2" thick for the sides, fronts, and backs of the drawers. After assembly, the fronts will get a 3/4" overlay face, which, when closed, will rest against the face frame I previously built.
On the 4 larger drawers below, Ive decided to use a dado/rabbit joint on all corners since these drawers are nearly 10-1/2" tall! On the 3 shorter drawers above, I will be using a more decorative box joint (pictures coming). On the two lower drawers, I have rabbited a lip into the sides to accommodate hanging file folders! More to come...
