How To Model a Drawer in SketchUp

[@richardvankesteren7013]

For next video. Import drawer runners and mark the screw holes in the drawer side and in the cabinet side just in case you need to pre-drill some holes.

Good technique, it's just that your dovetails are going in the wrong direction. The point to using dovetails, (Other than looking good) is so that in the event the glue fails, the joints will hold itself together mechanically. Putting the dovetails in the direction (as shown in the video) they would simply pull apart in the event of glue failure.
I know that isn't the point of the video, I was just pointing it out.

I think that he is doing it just the right way ;-)

@@tinbert The force applied to a drawer as you open and shut it, should be applied to the wedge side of the dovetail, not the straight side of it. The straight side of the dovetail can pull out and separate the joint if the glue failed.

You‘re right.
I misread your comment. Sorry.

Good technique but you can use trim for the second part of joints
