Domino Drawers

[Mike Goetzke]

I have made drawers using Dominos a couple times. I cut the mortises and then assembled the boxes. I recently saw that some build/glue the box and cut the Domino mortises afterwards. This seems better/easier to me. Any disadvantages of doing it this way?

Thanks

I have never heard of this approach. It seems interesting and is something I will look into. Did you watch a video or something? If I am understanding the approach right, I suppose one negative is you cannot use the Domino for alignment of the drawer box components.

Not sure if what you are talking about is what I've done in the past, but I used dominoes on some drawers years ago and I assembled the drawer boxes and then added them after. Attaching a picture for reference.

Hope it helps.
