I'm skipping ahead to the next step instead of making more drawers. I still want to make more drawers for my cabinet but I'm short on cardboard. I need to save what large pieces I have to start making the second section of the breakfast bar. It's best to cut your largest pieces first and use leftovers to cut smaller pieces. I can add more drawers when I get a new supply of cardboard. I don't want to hold up the instruction posts while I wait for more cardboard.
For this next step it's time to hide the imperfections of the cardboard and smooth the transition (hide the edges) between the water based tape and the cardboard. The cardboard furniture will never be as perfectly smooth as a good piece of sanded wood because it's not real wood. We just want to do what we can to get as smooth as possible.
