I finished cutting the dovetails in the sides to match the drawer fronts, and then started cutting the dovetails for the slides in the drawer sides.
I indexed everything from the top of the drawer side, so the drawers would all be the same distance from the top of the drawer.
These are the 8" high drawers.
I also cut the 5" high ones.
The slides will be 1/3 of the overall height of the side. 1/3rd at the top, 1/3rd for the slide, and 1/3rd for the bottom of the side.
I figured that would give me maximum strength for the slides.

I still have to finish the 13" drawer sides for the bottom 2 drawers.
As soon as I cut the drawer bottoms for these 4 drawers, they are ready to be glued together. Yay!
