The 3D Modeling Trick That Designed This Cabinet

I built a slideless drawer- no hardware, just wood.
Traditional cabinetry works as a box within a box: drawers and compartments sitting inside an external shell, held together with hardware slides. For this nightstand, I wanted to flip that — using the geometry of the wood itself to create the sliding mechanism, with zero external hardware.
This is "system drawer construction", a design language built on boolean geometry, where a subtraction in one part becomes an addition in another. The drawer sides interlock directly with the frame, no metal slides required.
In this video:
Designing an interlocking drawer mechanism from scratch
CNC-milled sapele drawer handles
Half-lap joinery for the maple frame
A custom CNC-carved articulating phone stand/charger
Finishing with Danish oil
