Assembly:

To assemble box joints, simply apply a thin layer of glue on all joint surfaces and slip the joint together and clamp as needed. This type of joinery works fine for making box-like structures such as drawers. However, you'll need to be a bit more diligent about keeping the box square when clamping than you might need to with dovetails.
