Hi mike I see something that might help with future builds . The wood whisperer screwed his drawer fronts on using the handle holes I thought it was genius saves using masking tape and super glue or the locating dowel pins . I've been a making kitchens for nearly 20 years and as I always do my handle holes last I never thought about it. But it will save so much time and be so easy to line and square up drawer fronts .
