Just a few thoughts,
Thanks for the advise. Due to the nature of these, they really need to be rounded after the drawer is glued together. I'm trying to use a 1/4" bit and do have it set low. I'm just after a slight rounding to break the edges of the drawer sides, top and bottom.

Here is an image of a completed box, maybe this will help explain:

The front is 1/2" thick so it's not a problem, but the back is 1/4". Maybe, thinking about it, I should just make the back a little thicker and give up a little of the drawer cavity. The drawer is cut from a solid block, the front and back are sliced off, the drawer cavity is cut out, then the back and front are glued back on.
Thanks again,
ken

BTW, BobandRick, thanks so much for helping me and others with your show.
