Don, It can be tricky. First everything must be square including the drawers fitting square to the face frame both horizonal and veritcal. The slides must also be set exactly to stop at an exact same amount into the cabinet. The slides must all slide in a straight line at 90 degrees to the face frame into the cabinet. With all this being correct, square cut the drawer fronts 1/8" smaller that the opening both vertically and horizonal. This will give you the drawer fronts clearence of 1/16" on each side. Starting at the bottom drawer insert a 1/16" shim between the drawer front and the face frame placing one on each side. This will hold the fronts. Start at the bottom and from the next drawer opening above, screw a 1 1/4" screw from the drawer box into the drawer front. (In this chest the box in made of 1/2" thick alder and the fronts are 13/16" thick alder.) Place a screw in the bottom corner and one in the upper corner of the opposite side and install the screw. Check the fronts to be sure it has not moved. Repeat on the each side and then one in the middle at the top and the bottom. Besure to check that the fronts are equal on all corners and sides before the final screws are installed.
Another way, it is going to haveto have drawer pulls, and if you have them in your possession, bore the drawer fronts for the pulls and then positison the front as above and screw a 1 1/4" screw into the drawer box through through the pull holes. Then screw in the screws that permanently holds the drawer fronts. Removed the the screws from the front. (the ones in the pull holes) Then you can bore the holes for the pulls from the front and install the pulls.
Thank you for the nice comment.
Thank You Ryan, It is truly a one of a kind as it is built entirely without any plans, customer says build it to their height , debth and width with 12 drawers and here it is. Construction by kreg jig pocket screws , and dove tail drawer joints riding on full extension slides. It is solid alder including the side panels and top from 4/4 alder. There is a piece of 3/4 ply in the bottom and the slide racks are 3/4 ply. The beaded face frame really sets off the drawer chest and my customer is very happy. It is supposed to be picked up soon depending on the weather (rain). Customer is a painter by trade and wants to do the finish.
All in all a fun project to do looking forward to doing another beaded face frame in the very near future.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
