Any advise on how to deal I/ joining drawer sides to curved drawer fronts. Want to maintain angle and not flatten edge of drawer. Will hand cut pins and tails.

Make your drawer fronts first-you knew that-then use a T-bevel to get the angle of the side edge of the front to the face. Place the body of the bevel gage to the edge and the blade to the face. Transfer this angle to the front edge of the drawer side and bevel it to that angle. Now is the tricky part: maintain the angle of the blade for what would have been your cuts parallel to the face for both the face and the side! This is the bevel of the drawer side! When you are done you should have trapezoidal parallelograms(that is the best that I can describe the shape of the tails and the pins). Good luck.
*Generally the back of the drawer front is bevelled so the side is jointed at 90 deg.View Image
