Typically a dado is cut in all four pieces and the bottom is slid
in before
the back (or front) is attached. That way the bottom is supported

While a lot of folks do so, it's not the best option or the
traditional--which is to dado the front and sides and leave the
back the
width of the depth of the drawer.Â* The drawer can then be
assembled and
the bottom inserted later.

The downside on which is that the bottom sags at the back and stuff
falls out behind the drawers where it's a pain in the butt to find.

Well, no!Â*

The back edge of the bottom is pinned (where's Norm's brad gun? )
which keeps it in place but is removable for repair if needed...with
the
advent of plywood instead of solid bottom stock isn't as big an issue,
granted...

That's the theory.Â* I've had too many drawer bottoms sag at the back
to ever be comfortable with that concept.

Then simply put in screws, pocket hole screws work well.

Or just dado all the sides/back at one time.
I don't know why people in here constantly try to reinvent the wheel.
Not only reinvent it, but go back in time and make wooden-spoke carriage
wheels.Â*Â* :-)

I cut grooves on all 4 sides on all of my drawers. Out of the 2~4
hundred drawers that I have built this way none have had to be repaired.
