I like this method of indexing the spacing of the divider rails and the
slides using the dado's. A big time saver and pretty much fool
proof.


I think you should take an overhead shot of that so that everyone can
see how precise your detailing is to get the stiles dadoed to accept
the sides. Good stuff!


Is this what you are looking for?

Are those half-lap corner joints on the drawers or a drawer lock
router joint?


The same as I almost always do, a rabbet joint reinforced with 3
Domino's on each corner, 72 all together for the 6 drawers.



As always, I appreciate the thoughtful details of your designs. Old
habits over though... I wouldn't be able to keep from putting a
triangle into the 90 degree corner at the very top at each corner.


Well something like that. I had some scrap pieces of MDO that fit the spot.

I am sure with the top attached it will be completely sturdy.

Are you going to use Dominoes to secure the top to the carcass as
well?


I will be using Domino mortises to form slots in the MDO that is pocket
holed in the top corners. Pocket hole screws, just because of the large
washer heads, will come up through the bottom of the MDO into the bottom
side of the tops. And there will be moldings around the top of the
front and sides of the cabinet just under the top.

Something like this for the slots.
