I am in the middle of making a dresser (my first dresser) for my future son (due in Feb) and I screwed up my math when determining drawer spacing. It has three overlapping drawers which were supposed to be equally spaced. Unfortunately after glue up I noticed that the center drawer space is a 1/2" to short.
The solution I came up with is to continue to have all the drawer faces the same size, but make the center drawer face overlap the drawer dividers by
1/2" and make the top and bottom drawer faces overlap by 1/4". I hope this solves my problem. The only way anyone would notice my screw up is if they removed all the drawers from the carcass.Anyone ever do this before??
