It is done!  I finally got the drawer fronts on, including the handles.  I nearly had a stroke in the 110 degree heat today, but it is finished.

After edge banding I sanded everything and then gave it a few coats of lacquer.

I then used some 2mm spacers and double sided tape to stick the fronts to the drawers. Then carefully pulled the drawer open and clamped it.  Finally I shot some holes through the back and screwed the faces on.

It took some time, but it looks really good!

For the handles I put some painters tape on each drawer, then measured out the holes for one drawer. Finally I used my laser level to transfer the hole positions to the other drawers, so they all line up straight.

I have not decided what I want to do with the air compressor drawer, that is why it does not have a handle.  I'm contemplating not having a proper handle at all.  But instead having some sort of hidden pull or latch you can tug on to open it if needed. The hope is that it will always be closed.

The hose reel will allow for access to the air, and I plan on having some sort of a remote switch for the compressor so I don't have to open this to turn it on.  Finally I want to put some sound absorbing materials in the drawer to quiet everything down.

I'm not quite done. I want to put some sort of top on the box, maybe some floor vinal.  Something more robust than paint.  And I need to put in t-nuts for all the tools, that will help keep them in alignment, but still make it easy to remove if needed. Finally I need to sort out power, I want another power strip so this cart can be rolled around independently and all the tools just use one cord.

Still it is very nice to be even this close to finished!
