I know how to make a drawer. Ive made a bunch. I have no interest in doing
that.
I know, from experience, that a local cabinet maker is going to br not
interested, quote a ridiculously high price, or farm it out.
Drawer boxes are something that is widely outsourced, as it is tooling
intensive, and no one cares about them. If youve got the cnc equipment, and
make them all day, you can sell them for what a job shop has in materials. I
was hoping someone had dealt with someone who was willing to deal with a
customer who only needs one.

do is make the sides, front and back of the drawer box using this product,
then cut a bottom out of 1/4" plywood, glue and screw/nail it together and put
guides on. Rockler also had the guides.

each side of the box (1/2" narrower than the opening).
