fine woodworking....how does one define that term?
For Derek & Rob fine woodworking means dovetails to the extreme and miticulous (sp?) details
for the common man (likes of myself) who loves woodwork but lacks the commitment, talent and patience something made from ply, MDF or melamine screwed and sometimes glued together so that it functions as it should.
I remember as a kid spending hours with my maternal grandfather in his workshop, the smell of wood, home made schelack and stains and his patience in trying to teach me how to make it better, and bemoaning the paternal side of my family genes that just loved carsI would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

Fine Furniture? Who bestows the title? The craftsman, the client or God? The significance diminishes from latter to former. Self praise is no recommendation.

I have used three techniques.
1. Screws from the inside.
2. PVA glue plus bolts from the drawer pulls - someone corrected me from calling them handles.
3. Temporary two sided tape plus bolts from the drawer pulls. Once the pulls are attached they hold the faces and carcasses together. Glue/tape then becomes redundant.

I've always used screws. The drawer fronts are planed to fit into the carcase with 1.5-2mm of clearance all around. Then the drawers are installed with four screws fitted with their points slightly proud. The drawer front is placed into postion and given a light tap with a rubber mallet. The screws leave four dimples which are drilled to take the screws. The drawer fronts are located in centrally the carcase with 1.5 or 2mm nails.
