Finally sealed my 100th drawer box today, didn't think I'd get there

I've been building cabinets solo in my garage shop for about three years now. This morning I was putting the last of a set of maple drawer boxes together and realized I just finished number 100. That number surprised me because I still feel like a rookie most days. Back when I started I was happy if I could get one box square without racking it. Now I can knock out a full kitchen's worth in a weekend. The funny part is I didn't even count them until my wife asked how many I've done total. It's not a huge milestone in the grand scheme but it feels good to see the progress. How many drawer boxes did you guys make before you stopped counting?

Numbers have a funny way of sneaking up on you when you quit paying attention.

Weight creeps up the same way clutter does, @ray136, slow until you notice.

30 pounds in a year from just a few extra crackers and cheese each night? That is wild when you stop and think about it. I guess small habits really do add up before you realize it.
