Attach your pegboard template to the plywood tightly, take 3/16 size drill bit, and drill holes through each peg. Once you finished, remove your pegboard and flip it over.

Use Miter box to prepare your dowels (whatever you think it is safe) and keep the bit and the wood screw end of the hanging bolt at the same depth using tape.

Insert the T-nuts in the bottom side of your panel so that you can screw the dowels in place. Insert the panel in the drawer face up and screw the dowels into the holes where you placed the T-Nuts.
