Hope this helps some.
Attaching shaker drawer fronts.
Materials needed for drawer fronts 3 4 thick pine board strips 2 1 4 wide 3 8 thick plywood 1 1 4 pocket hole screws finishing nails construction adhesive paint drawer handle.
I make videos 3 times a week on diy home projects and just lifestyle videos.
Take the drawer and drill a slight hole on the 4 corners of the front inside of the drawer leave at least 5 1 space from the ends this is where the screws will be placed to add the front.
You could also run your drawer handle through the panel and use those screws to help hold the front on with some screws on the side into the stiles.
I think a better alternative if you re set on this design is to use a 1 2 panel.
