And as you can see here, I have them set back about
three quarters of an inch and that's for the face frame. I made the face frame out of one continuous piece
so it looks like it's all running together, which is really cool.
Cut it to the width that I needed
and then cut them all to the length that they needed
and then just laid them out to make sure that it was how I liked.
I did round over the corners, but you don't have to do this if you would rather have a nice square edge to them.
This is just, I just like this. So this is why I did it this way.
I used double-sided tape
and playing cards to make sure that my drawers or my drawer fronts
were
nicely spaced in there. As you can see here, you just grab like, you know, two, three, four cards, however many you need.
Set them on the bottom, set them on the sides here
and that will get your
drawer front perfectly lined up. Push it into the double-sided sticky tape
and then I just added some screws from the inside of the drawer
to hold it in place.
I just finished it with some teak oil.
Wanted to try to keep it as natural as I could.
Then I made this little jig for the drawer pulls
so that way I get my drawers in the same place every single time. I'm sorry, my handles in the same place every single time.
You can also buy one of these online
so you don't have to make your own, but it took me just a sec to make it.
So I did. And then your handles are in the same place every single time on every single drawer.
