What happens here
Cut thin plywood strips to serve as drawer faces. Apply edge banding to all visible edges of these plywood faces using a heat iron to activate the adhesive. Once cooled, trim any excess banding with a utility knife and smooth with sandpaper. Attach the drawer faces to the assembled drawer boxes. Mark and pre-drill pilot holes for drawer pulls, then install the pulls. This step completes the functional drawers with a clean, finished appearance.
Goal: Apply finishing touches to the drawers, including faces, edge banding, and pulls.
