I'm getting ready to build a pretty simple 2-drawer storage/tool box for my neighbor's Land Cruiser. It's based on the one shown in the video below. In the video, the maker uses simple butt joints with brads and glue. (The drawer bottoms are set into dadoes, though.) The butt joints don't seem real strong to me. It seems even shallow dado and rabbet joints would be stronger. What are your thoughts/suggestions?
Here's a rough sketch showing the main assemblies, minus the top and drawer fronts. I'm planning on 1/2 ply for the top and bottom, 3/4" ply for the vertical pieces and drawer boxes, and 1/4" ply for the drawer bottoms:
And here's the video the neighbor sent me, saying he wanted one like this:
