What happens here

Attach the hinge plates to the inside of the cabinet face frames according to the hinge instructions, ensuring they align with the drilled holes on the doors. Carefully mount each door by attaching the hinge arm to the hinge plate. Pre-drill pilot holes in the face frames to prevent wood splitting before driving screws, as poplar can split with coarse screws. Adjust the hinges as needed to achieve perfect door alignment and consistent gaps between doors. For the drawer fronts, attach them to the front of the drawer boxes. Create a semicircular finger pull on each drawer front by tracing and cutting with a jigsaw, then smoothing the edges with a router. Ensure all drawer fronts are level and aligned.

Goal: Attach the painted doors to the cabinet face frames using hinges and secure the drawer fronts to the drawer boxes, adjusting for proper alignment.
