1. Cut the Maple Pieces

Measure the dimensions of the space the drawers will fit into and cut the maple pieces appropriately. You'll need two pieces cut to the depth and two pieces cut to the width. Be sure to sand the edges for a smooth finish.

2. Make Dado Cuts

Make a dado cut close to the bottom of each piece so that the drawer bottom will slide in snugly. To do this, run each piece through a table saw with saw depth set at 1/4-inch. Move the saw 1/8-inch wider and run the pieces through again.

3. Insert the Screws

Glue alone won't hold the pieces together, so insert screws with the help of a pocket jig, which creates recessed holes that are easy to cover up. Drill at least four evenly-spaced pocket holes on the outside of each drawer piece since the drawer will need to hold a lot of weight. Be sure the dado cut is on the inside.

4. Secure the Pieces

Secure the pieces together. Place a moderate amount of wood glue along two connecting edges, which will form the back and sides of the drawer. Hold the edge pieces together so they meet at a corner, beginning with the back and two sides. Be sure to place a clamp at the corners so they hold together and give the glue time to set. The pointy end should be stuck into the pocket holes themselves for greater stability.

Step 5

Secure the Back and Side Pieces

Once the corners are lined up flush, screw the hex head screws into the pocket holes. Continue this process until the back piece and sides are secured.

Step 6

Consider the Grain Direction

Slide the wood bottom through the dado cuts and into place. Consider grain direction when placing the bottom so the grain is visible from above when pulling out the drawer.

Step 7

Secure the Front Drawer

Glue the edge of the front drawer piece and secure it. At this point, it should fit in nice and tight without the need for a clamp. Tighten the remaining screws.

Step 8

Attach the Drawer Slides

Attach one drawer slide to the drawer and screw it into place. Attach the corresponding guide to the surrounding cabinet at the same height as the slide so the drawer will fit in nicely. Repeat this process for the other side.

Step 9

Make the Drawer Face Frame

To make the drawer face frame, cut four pieces of solid maple into two rails (on the top and bottom of the face frame) and two stiles (on the sides of the face frame). Keep in mind that the two rails will fit inside the stiles around the perimeter and will overhang 1/2-inch around the entire perimeter so there is something to grasp when pulling out the drawer.

Step 10

Secure the Rails

Use the pocket jig and drill at least two holes on each side of the rails to secure them to the stiles. Glue the pieces together. Fit the clamp along the corners if necessary and screw them in tightly. Put the frame aside until after the drawers are installed inside the pantry.
