I don't know any specific real sites, but a google search I sure would
show up a bunch (like in the thousands) on all kinds -- dovetails, box
joint, router made drawer joints, dado-housed, simple butt, ...

There is always Fine Woodworking (www.taunton.com) and all the other
woodworking mags and rec.woodworking, too.

What you want?

Mel,
I checked the on line index for Fine Woodworking Magazine and there
were so many references to the topic "Drawers" I lost count. You can
get DVDs of past editions or try the public library. Some people have
complete sets of the issues and use them in conjuction with the on
line index as an encyclopedia.

I honestly would not expect to see very many "how too" articles in
Fine Woodworking ...that Magazine is really not published for harry
homeowner etc... more for the advanced woodworker.

Popular Woodworking, should have more BUT it would be quicker for the
OP just to drive to Lowes or Hom Depot and check out the magazines and
project idea rags they sell...

Not specifically, no, but...I've been subscriber since V1, #about 3 so
have pretty good idea of content. There are many articles that
include drawers and workbenches, etc., and the sidebars of those are
often at a moderate to less level. If nothing else, will be an eye-
opener of possibilities which can't be all bad! :)

But, in particular, there has been a noticeable shift over the last
few years to more introductory/beginner/low intermediate audience as
opposed to the perceived "elitist" view of years ago. Not that work
shown isn't to be admired... :)
