kp91 is on a distinguished road


Theres another option, there are a lot of companies that will MAKE custom drawer boxes for you, you just add the front. It sounds like a lot of bucks, but if you think about it, you aren't buying the wood, the jig, or screwing up a couple of drawers on your first try, so the cost per drawer is reasonable.

I've used dovetails, box joints, pocket holes, and knock down hardware on drawers, and had good results with all. sometime simpler is better, a locking rabbet joint, sliding dovetail, can give you great results as well.
