I am working on fixing up my kitchen. Cabinets are sanded, primed, and currently being painted. I am fairly new to wookdworking, but do have some limited experience. I built some primitive built-ins in my basement family room. They look pretty good and the drawers move smoothly, so not bad for a first pass!!
Anyway- I am converting TWO of my existing base cabinets from drawer over door to multiple drawers. I plan to learn to use a DT jig to build the new drawer boxes. I have added additional rails into the face frame with 3/4″ red oak to match the existing face frame material. All told the carcasses and face frames look good.
My concern is the drawer fronts. I would like to purchase new fronts for the drawers that will match my existing drawer fronts.
Can anyone recommed a good online vendor for drawer fronts? The current fronts are a slab front (I saw reference to 500PRE on one website). Not all of the sites carry something that matches, but several do. I would like to buy additional fronts online, but am hesistant to go with a vendor for which I have no experience. I will need 5 fronts total.

You might want to pay attention to the vendor's return policy and what sort of satisfaction guarantee they provide.
The larger question is why buy when you could make the drawer fronts yourself?
The long in short answer is I don't know how to make them myself? I have a table saw and router table, but nothing else.
I need fronts like the ones on the right in the first set at this page:

Can anyone explain how to fabricate these?

You'll need to link to the actual page with the design you want, rather than the page where the ad appeared.
