Step 9

This piece is a fake drawer front and opens with hinges. I did some miss-measuring in my face frame so the piece I cut did not fit when I went to assemble it. I could have fixed it, but had these boxes already that fit perfectly so decided to leave it off.

Step 10

And add the back. I always like to add the back last so I can work on hinges and such from the back.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
