Adjustable Shelves and Back

To space the support holes for adjustable shelves consistently, I created a template from scrap wood. [insert template diagram here] After drilling the support holes, I fitted the back into the rabbets and attached it with 3d nails. steps: B6-7 task hours: 2.0 project hours: 31.25

Drawer

[task hours: 7, project hours: ?] [steps H.6, H.7, H.8] Completed the drawer box and installed it using 20" slides. The box was was only a hair smaller than the cabinet front frame opening, so I rabbeted the sides 1-3/4" x 1/4" to accomodate the drawer slide. It's still a snug fit, but the drawer opens and closes relatively smoothly.
