What happens here

During installation, it is discovered that the first batch of drawers were made too wide because the measurements were taken from the outside of the cabinet instead of the inside, where the slides would mount. This resulted in drawers that would not fit correctly. The presenter emphasizes this as a learning experience, highlighting the importance of precise internal measurements for drawer construction. The incorrect drawers are set aside, and new ones are planned to be made with the corrected dimensions.

Goal: An error in drawer measurement (measuring outside instead of inside dimensions) is identified, requiring remaking the drawers to the correct size.
