With the cabinet carcase woodworking completed, we'll move onto the cabinet doors and drawer front.

Begin by removing the clamps from the door panel glue-ups and cut the door panels to their finished sizes of 18" wide by 21 1/4" tall, as shown on page 7 of the of the free woodworking plans you downloaded in step 1.

Cut a nice, clean section of 1x8 to 36" in length and sand the entire board, as this will become the drawer front.

Next, set up your router with an ogee bit (or profile of choice) to apply a detail to the front side of the two doors and the drawer front. Route only the front edges of the doors and the drawer front, as the back side edges should remain square.

Remove the drawer assembly from the clamps and sand thoroughly. Also, sand the two doors and drawer front, using progressively finer grits of sandpaper. Finish the sanding with a hand sanding for a perfect finish.

Finally, place the drawer front onto the front of the drawer assembly. Use a couple of small spring clamps to hold the front in place, with equal reveals on each side of the drawer but with a 1/4" reveal on the top. Attach to the drawer assembly with some 1-1/4" screws.
