    Simple drawer joint

    I would like to make a small nest of drawers. Nothing fancy, more for parts/junk than for "furniture". Drawers would be about 6" square, 2-1/2" deep. I'm wondering about what I might use for a simple, strong joint for fastening the drawer fronts to the sides. Emphasis on...
