????? What a great topic and I've asked those same questions myself. I often just use biscuits to join drawers together in certain circumstances. I have also found that if I make drawers myself, they do come out more square than if I go to a cheap company like Decorative Specialties and buy their dovetail drawers. But if I buy them from Deco or DBS ( a better quality LA area company) I do hate the wait and the raft of cardboard, plastic wrap and the wood pallet that I have to get rid of. Sometimes I get them to take the pallet if I can unwrap them quickly. I do have a Porter Cable jig and my first attempt at using it with Baltic birch ply was a disaster. I think it would have gone better if I was using 5/8" material and some other improvements. The other problems were my fault. There is a local company here that I'm sure makes great drawers, but the price is way more than other companies. Having said that, I'm just starting a large kitchen and whole house project and I'm thinking about trying them as the budget will allow it. I have also thought about getting a dedicated dovetail machine like a Grizzly, but I definitely have fears that it would be a mistake. I'm very curious to hear what others are doing.? Tom Ruth
