1) Submitted by Donald Dorn, from Sioux City, IA on 3/12/2009 Customer Rating: This is an old video and Frank actually has dark hair. It doesn't change the technique though and making well fit drawers was always a struggle. After this video, I don't use a tape measure anymore and I'm getting the most solid and well fit drawers of my woodworking time. His style calls for a false drawer front which is preferable to me, because should I ever have to fix a drawer, I don't have to rebuild a front. It's a timeless classic in my opinion and for good reason.
