• Using scrap plywood and hard maple guide strips ensures durable guides that fit precisely in the table saw miter slots.
• A 1/2 inch dado stack width determines the width of the fingers on the box joint.
• Setting the blade height to exactly 5/8 inches matches the material thickness for 5/8 inch Baltic birch drawers.
