For a one-off drawer, you can cut the dados with a backsaw and a chisel.



Or dado-less is possible if support strips are glued & screwed

use hardwood cleats to support the bottom AND act as rub-rails. Boil
them in parafin or soak them in warm raw linseed oil before screwing
them on to the sides and tacking the pottoms on top
