Cut the drawer openings in the maple-veneered front panels using the same plunge-cut technique detailed in Retain the Grain: Drawing and Cutting Drawers on page 38. Build drawer boxes, drawer pulls and corner posts to match. The plans show how the drawer openings on the front panel align with plywood plates. These plates are fastened with #6 x 1 1/4 inch screws to vertical pine strips fastened to the inside face of the dresser sides. With the 18 1/2 inch-wide drawer openings here, the plywood plates are located 1 3/4 inch from the outer edges of the front and back panels. The drawer slides will be mounted to the plates.
