I am about to start some drawer construction so would like to know more about how you did those.
I too would like to know a little more about the drawers???

Not exactly sure what y'all want to know. The drawer construction is pretty simple. I made a mortise with a 3/8" Forstner bit that accepts the 3/8" drawer sides. And used a 3/8" x 3/16" rabbet on the back of the sides for the back joint

The bottoms are 1/4" Oak ply (scrap wood) that is glued on the front and back.
The drawers are guided by L shaped runners spanning the web frame that keep it in line, and a kicker glued to the underside of the web frame to keep them from tipping forward. The drawer sides are 1/16" smaller than the face frame opening, and this keeps them in place more than the kicker. I decided to go with overlay drawers to maximize the inside drawer space. They overlay an inch on the sides and 1/2 inch on the top and bottom. The top two drawer fronts are 4" tall, the next 5" and the bottom 6". That came from quite a bit of sketching trial and error to find a nice graduated drawer size, that fit within the front size, and didn't use a board wider than 6" (limit of my jointer), I didn't want to rip and glue to make a larger front.
Does that cover it?:-D
