To attach the solid drawer fronts to the drawer boxes, position a scrap piece of wood (a spacer block) on the bottom of the cabinet. This provides a consistent height for the first drawer front. Rest the first drawer front on this spacer, ensuring it's centered and aligned with the drawer box. Clamp it securely in place. Then, pull the drawer open from the back and attach the drawer front to the drawer box using screws from the inside. Repeat this process for all the lower drawer fronts, using spacers between each one for consistent gaps. For upper drawer fronts, use another spacer block to set the correct gap from the drawer below. Finally, attach the drawer handles or pulls to each drawer front.

If you have just a little bit left, do not try to hit with a jigsaw because you're gonna screw it up, which is exactly what I just did. I had a nice little dip in here, because it's very, very hard, just to shave off a little bit with a jigsaw, instead get a chisel or something and shave it down, which is what I should have done. Now, it's not a huge mistake. I'm gonna make this the right panel, which is gonna be up against the wall. You'll never see this, and I'm just gonna try to do better. On the next one, mistakes were made, what can you do?
