You never showed putting in the drawer bottoms. Is everything else done and then slide in the bottoms (& glue the frames) Thanks.
Great learning experience! I'm really enjoying this project and am almost done. One issue I ran into was with the banding on the doors and the hinges. I didn't think about the location of my hinge holes when I nailed the banding. I "found" the nails with my brand new boring bit. I'm having to dig the nails out with a small flat head and pull them with needle nose pliers.
