In an attempt to repair the dropped drawer, I took the advice of some fellow woodworkers. I added a beveled edge to the drawer front. Now, I wanted the bevel smaller, but turns out the dent was larger than expected. It looks funny from the sides, but it's done now and I can't take it back.

Dropped drawer repair
Sunday, April 11, 2010
Old school or new school?
When it came time to put the bevel on the underside of the top I had a choice. Table saw, or hand planes? I watched this Wood Whisperer video, in which he used both approaches. I had planned on using the table saw, but when I thought about the effort required to get everything setup I decided to give hand planes a shot. Wow, it was fast. I finished all 4 bevels in the time it would have taken me to setup the table saw.
I promised a pic of the dropped drawer corner. Here it is. Still working out how to fix this. You can see from the 2 pictures that it's in an awkward place.
