Now you can measure the nightstand opening for the drawer size. We allowed 1/16” on either side of the drawer to accommodate
shrinking and swelling of the wood and for the drawer to slide nicely. Attach with 1-1/4” pocket screws and wood glue. Don’t worry
about the pocket screws showing. You will attach a drawer front that will cover them up.

Rip the 1x12 board for the bottom to a width of 9”. Attach as shown with 1-1/4” pocket screws and wood glue,
making sure it is fl ush with the bottom.

We attached the drawer front with 1-1/4” brad nails. The drawer front will be centered left-to-right
on the drawer leaving an 1/16” over hang. If the drawer is snug from left to right then use an orbital sander to slightly work down the
edges so that it fi ts. You will want to be careful to sand off both sides so that it fi ts evenly.
Be sure to sand in very small amounts so that the drawer just fi ts.
