I am planning on building some drawers in my garage for holding misc parts (electrical fittings, plumbing fittings, some quite heavy). They would be about 16 inches wide by 20 inches deep and 10 inches high.
I was considering using some left over (import) 3/4 cabinet plywood for the sides and 1/4 inch ply for the bottom. I was going to use the lock rabbit drawer joint that Wood magazine demos in their videos.
Should I use a 1/4 rabbit or move up to 3/8?
Would 1/4 inch plywood as bottoms be enough or should I move to 1/2?
In general is there any stand rule-of-thumb for sizing the thickness of drawer sides, fronts and backs, and bottoms?
How about the dado / rabbit size?
Thanks in Advance
