One more quick question. I was thinking about drilling the hinge mount holes before I glue the panels up. Any reason not to do this?

Yet another question!
I was checking out the drawer fronts and they are attached with square socket screws, two per drawer. Thing is they look like they were installed on site, and the spacing is not uniform. So, I can't predrill the drawer faces in my shop. What's the best way to screw these suckers on there when come install time? I'm thinking about using the same screws and pulling them out until the tip barely protrudes. Get the drawer front situated, tap it and use the indentations as a drill guide. I'm worried about perfect alignment using this method though.
I'm sure there's a better way; love to hear it if you know of one!
Yeah, I know I should make new drawers, but I think I'll wait until these start falling apart. Which they inevitably will since they look to be melamane butt jointed, glued and stapled...yuk.
Maple should be in Monday; can't wait to get started.
Hey great idea Wayne.
Don't have a brad nailer. Are those electric or do you need a compressor? My shop one is a tab large to haul to the house
I've been struggling with this one too. Brads and tape work, but are not always an option. I came across a video on Wood Magazine (I need to become their spokesperson....) that showed a clever technique.What's the best way to screw these suckers on there when come install time?
