i used 2 workplanes and 1 extrusion

1. Step 1:

   create a work plane with the wanted angle. i used the origin yz plan and rotated it around Z axis in the example i used 30 deg witch is not exactly the same as the surface but close. you as the drawer will probebley know the angle or you can messure it.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   use this plane to create another on the right ofset in my case 0.75inch
   

   

3. Step 3:

   create sketch on 2nd workplane and use project geometry as reference
   

   

4. Step 4:

   create a circle and extrude use normal circular patern to patern done
