Stair Project Weeks 4 & 5

It'll fit...it has to fit...
It fits!
Now that the drawer box is screwed down, I work on the face frame. First is the tricky stair-stepped piece which is cut from a 1x12. On the floor is the cardboard template I cut as a test run.
Some 1x2's finish out the face frame. They're tacked in so I can cut them precisely to fit. Now I take them all out to screw them all securely together.
Here's the completed face frame, ready to be re-nailed to the drawer box.
The next phase is the drawer box design and assembly. Here's the two larger drawers. The beer box is in there for scale - looks like we can fit two cases in there...
I would've had all four boxes done today, but I spent some time fixing some miscuts. Remember kids - measure twice, cut once.

Here's the current status. The wood facing has been installed around the pantry doors, and all the nail holes have been filled with putty.
