Making and Installing Workbench Drawer Fronts

A lot of work went into redoing my work bench. Now let's finished the drawer fronts!!

I start off making some drawer fronts with a 1/2 sheet of 3/4 plywood I had left over. But that wasn't enough for all the drawer fronts. There is 23 of them in total.

So I had to do some scrounging and some fancy cutting to get enough material to make all the fronts. But I did it!!

Have a look at how I made a square drawer front from an oval piece of material. Scary as it was barely big enough for the size I needed!!

Then I sanded all the fronts and I even put some crack fill compound on the fronts to smooth out any voids or nails holes they may of had from a previous life.

Sanding the pieces and then sanding the crack fill was a job and a half. I was thinking of Stevo J while I was doing this. Stevo has a great channel and he does a lot of auto body work as well as some crack filling and wood working. If you want to check out Stevo's channel here is a link:

Then I did my favorite job in the shop, I painted them all!! I'm starting to like painting. NOT!!

Then the fun started. Installing the drawer fronts. I even used my new laser level to help out with this part!!

In the end though, I think the drawer fonts went on pretty good and they even look pretty nice too. What do you think?

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. Please 'thumbs up' me and leave me some comments. And if you haven't done so already, please consider 'subscribing' to my channel. It sure helps my videos get noticed and my channel grow. I hope you all have a great week.

We'll talk to yas ...

Hello Mike. They look great! You are becoming an expert painter, buddy! The best-looking workshop on YouTube. Winter is back here with 20cm of snow last night. Yikes! Take care

[FirewoodAdventure]

Looking some fancy Mike. I love the colors so far. Im satisfied with your work.

[BruceLyeg]

Those turned out great Mike. The laser level was pretty handy for getting the drawer faces on all even and straight. I have a laser level around here somewhere but I always forget I have it and haven't used it in ages. I bought it for my wife twenty years ago when we were doing some renos in our old house, the same house we tore down to build the house we're in now. It's best for me not to think about all the money we sunk into that house only to knock it down lol

Nice work Mike. The bench looks fantastic. Catch you on the next video.

[GardenTractorBoy]

We try to do any sanding outside but it is not easy when the weather is not good. Great job with the table top, that turned out really well. I really like how you fixed the fronts to the draws. The draws look great with the fronts on

Definitely a Stevo J approved video. Your technique on the void filling is the way I do it as well. You are much more advanced on the tech though. Did not know you could voice activate the dust collector. I could go as far as using my flip phone to push a button. Would gladly do your filling if you could do my painting. Thanks so much for the video Mike. Stevo

[MissouriOldTimer]

it looks like you have done that sort of thing before, , it really looks good, Yes SteveO is a genius when it comes to body work or wood work.
