Hey friends, let's wrap up the final part of the drawer building series with the part of the drawer you see most often--the drawer front! It's time to install them and I'm going to show you how.

In this video, I'm sharing the different types and styles of drawer fronts you commonly run into, what to use to secure the drawer front to the drawer box, and 3 ways to properly position drawer fronts while you're attaching them.

I've had such good feedback on this series, I decided to put together a printable e-book guide of all four parts so you can take it with you to the workshop for reference.
