The drawer with castors is cut to size

1. First the side parts A 1 and A 2 are cut to size. Then the cut edges are broken with a fine rasp. Then cut the head side and the back side B 1 and B 2.
2. Since your drawer is screwed together with rollers, the two side panels A 1 and A 2 each have 2 holes on the 20 cm sides. The holes are drilled 1 cm from the edge and are 10 cm apart. They are countersunk a little on the outside with a countersink.
3. All wooden parts of your drawer with castors have a joint on the inside with a width of 2 mm and a depth of 5 mm

4. You should also treat the wood before assembling it. That means, you sand the wood a little and then paint all wooden parts with wood preservative. Then cut the base plate C 1 out of hard cardboard.

The cabinet move-in is completed

1. Take your headboard and back and put some wood glue in the grout. Then insert the bottom in both parts and clamp everything with two screw clamps. Then take the side parts and put wood glue in them as well.

2. Then place the side parts on the floor and screw the side parts to the head part and the back part. Take the two strips with rollers and screw them to the left and right of the side parts. Now you have a drawer with castors.
3. But something is still missing. The drawer should also be able to be opened. For this purpose, you bought a drawer handle in advance at your trusted hardware store, which you now screw in the middle of the head plate. After this is done, you have completed your drawer.

Before you screw in the screws, you should put some wood glue on the threads.
