Cool article about a guy who dropped out of USC to make watches:

He claims to have sold $950,000 worth of his watches in the last year! I'd say he is beyond needing luck! :-)

Garden shed? That looks like a "granny unit". Just beautiful! I'd live in it.

The Chief: stunning.

^^^^^^^

That piece of furniture is stunning. A bit ornate for my taste, but WOW.

No love for air traffic control towers huh? That project actually came in ahead of schedule and under cost, which is pratically unheard of in fed projects. One hell of a breakroom in that thing too, best view around.

No photos of anything built, but a pretty funny article.

Hey, cabinet pros...

What's your preferred method for attaching drawer fronts to their boxes?

My drawer fronts are 3/4" thick, shaker style (stiles, rails, center panel), and the drawer boxes are 5/8" thick. What's the best way to get them centered, yet adjustable enough to dial them out?

Aesthetically, what kind of spacing would you create between the drawer faces, given the style? (The cabinet space has some flexibility here.)

So you are using the drawer pull screws to actually secure the fronts? Are you using the .23 ga pins so that you can tweak the face around as necessary? No other securing screws?

Do you use a template or jig to get your alignment close?

Just do some math. I'm OCD but I always center the face on the opening. So a 6x18 inch face on a 5x17 opening would have 1/2 inch overlap all the way around. Then just pull from the cabinet opening to the box face from the bottom and either side. Add the numbers and make a small reference line on the back of the drawer face. Line that up to the drawer and clamp it. Drill four pilot holes about an inch off each corner and use the appropriate length screw. If the cabinets and faces are well made your reveals will be within a 1/16th.

I do basically the same as treez, but cut out some steps. With the drawer box in place, I countersink a hole in each of the four corners from the inside and start two screws through in opposite corners, twisting them so they protrude from the front about 3/32". Push the drawer closed and then hold the drawer face in place and push HARD when you like it. Open the drawer, glue it if you want (I dont), and line the screws up with the dimples you made on the back of the drawer front. Drive them home.

Close the drawer and if you did it right and it looks good, send the other two screws home, otherwise loosen the screws a tiny bit and tweak as needed first. Easy.

I go by eye as well; if I can't notice a difference then neither will anyone else.
