1. Print at 100%

Hit Print Template and make sure your print dialog is set to 100% / Actual Size (not “Fit to page”). Measure the 1″ scale square on the printout to confirm — if it’s not exactly 1 inch, adjust your scale and reprint.

2. Glue & Trace

Spray-glue the template to your wood block, or cut it out and trace around it. The solid lines are cut lines; the dashed lines show where to hollow each drawer to the wall thickness you chose.

3. The Bandsaw Box Sequence

  • Slice the back (~3/8″) off the block and set aside — it glues back on at the end.
  • Cut the drawer blanks free along the solid drawer lines.
  • Cut the front and back faces off each drawer blank, hollow the body to the dashed line, then glue the faces back.
  • Re-glue the box back, sand, and finish.

Blade & Wood

Use a 1/4″ or 3/16″ blade for the curves. Dense hardwoods (maple, walnut, cherry) give the cleanest drawer fit. Stock 3–5″ thick makes a nicely proportioned box.

Template is a planning aid — always verify the 1″ scale square after printing and cut on the waste side of your lines.
