      Anyone who hasn't done that please raise your hand. I didn't think so. We've all been there in some form or another

      BTW... I really don't need a drawer right now, but thanks for the offer.

          Got my attention all right. I just posted a "rant" on the projects discussion board a couple of minutes ago. Kind of along the same lines, although not quite. Seems like I have heard the phrase, "character building".

              It's not WRONG, it's a feature of your next project. Just following the Microsoft example!

                  The last time I did that I ended up building another small cabinet to fit the drawer.

                      Realized I actually made the boxes too wide. Easy fix.
                      I have to cut all new bottoms but just made (3) new sides and am going to trim 1 side off of each of the (3) drawers.

                      The good news is that I now have lots of 1/2" BB jig parts.

                          That one almost had me on the floor. I thought I was the only person to design a complete furniture piece to fit a misplanned drawer.

                              Hey, what's the problem?? I need a drawer (Honey Do item) and maybe yours will fit???

                              This has been one of my worries since I'm a novice woodcrafter with a new BT3001. I guess I should put aside my worries and just make some things. My dad could always "adjust" any mistakes along the way and I should learn from him!!

                                  I would NEVER make a mistake like that!

                                  BTW, when I made the 3 under-bed storage drawers for SWMBO's sewing room, I went ahead and cut the bottoms for 3 similar units to store shoes under our bed. The will be built the same, but about 3" smaller each direction.
