Oh, and I glued the laminate down to the top. I used rubber cement on both sides. Looks pretty good.

Second picture. I was trying to wipe off the sawdust and realized that they're floaters. Sawdust suspended in the air.

Picture of the drawers installed. A bit dark because of the light. Let me fix that.

There, that's better. One problem is that the sides of the cabinet are about a quarter inch too wide.

So I bought some washers so the drawers would slide in and out smoothly.

Attaching the faces to the drawers. I had to work from the bottom to make sure there was sufficient room between the faces.

And all installed. I also decided not to screw the handles just to the faces as planned but went and bought longer ones so they'd go all the way through.
