I think setting up the table saw to cut the rabbetts and grooves was my favorite part of the build.

I don't have a table saw nor a miter saw so the "butted" drawers looked attractive for my needs. I will be doing the same type of project as depicted in the video.
I really like the idea of a ratchet strap as I also don't have any of those larger clamps, but do have plenty of ratchet straps. Great idea - thanks, Les!
