I have a nicely equipped wood working shop with well over 50 different wood clamps and I still use weights from time to time when gluing. Books will work, as will cans of pain, cans of food and even a toolbox can be used. I haunt yard sales and buy ever 5 lb barbell weight I can find. They work great for holding a frame flat while it dries. This is not recommended for you unless you have a set of wights you can borrow from, but it might help other woodworkers reading this. That should get you started. BTW, while the strap idea works great, it has a tendency not to apply much pressure in the center of a span so insert a block there to get a tighter fit. Good luck, you will do fine.

Everyone needs clamps, and a drawer requires that all the angles on the corners be 90 degrees, or it will not shut right and will be whopperjawed in the desk.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

use a good wood glue such as Tite-Bond, apply to one surface, allign parts and while applying pressure, use masking tape to hold the parts together. Don't remove tape till the glue is set.

you can always use a small piece of rope or strong string, wipe it around the drawer and tie it off till it dries, then take it off. it works in a pinch

Make a tourniquet using old rags or even old belts or rope. Twist to add more tension!
