It was an interesting read. We woodworker's get all tied up in knots over the strength of something, whether it's biscuits, or clamp pressure, or maybe drawer bottoms...when in truth they are probably work well enough for what we are doing.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Same here. It's really the looks of the drawer and the style of slides that dictate you away from just gluing the bottoms on. You also gain a little drawer depth. I always make drawers as big as I can fit to use all the space provided.
I did like that quote too..

Yep, glue is strong. I'm thinking he does this for shop drawers and not for high end cabinetry. Aesthetics does matter.
