Lots of other things going on, raining a lot in Texas (anybody have plans for an Ark? Oh yeah, I have a description in the Bible!) – so I stacked up the garage to get a car in more often & was gone for ten days of vacation, so haven’t accomplished much over the past three weeks.
I did “unstack” and get back into the shop some today after cutting the grass (just before it started raining again). I spent 3 1/2 hours planing poplar drawer sides and backs to 1/2” stock and sizing all the drawer fronts to their openings.
Everything is set to review the dovertail jig instructions again and get after building drawers.

Sounds like you have a plan. Snap some photos along the way and try to keep dry.

I hope you didn’t plane 1” wood to 1/2” You should resaw them and get two sides.

Nope – 3/4” to 1/2”
If I had a better bandsaw, a resaw blade, and a resaw jig/fence, I probably would have tried to conserve wood – even with 3/4”

I hope the rain lets up for you and everyone else in Texas. I look forward to seeing your progression.
