Step 2:

Repeat Step 1 for opposite End and put Ends out of the way.

Step 3:

To Prepare the Front #23, it is only necessary to attach the Bottom Frame #3 and Tray Slide #4.  Lay the Front #23 with the Number side up; with a ruler mark off a line 1 ¼” in from each end and a line 4” down from the top, ad shown on Sketch E. 

After these lines are laid out, place pieces #3 and #4 as shown on Sketch F and mark outline of these pieces on Front #23.

 

 

 

 

 Remove pieces #3 and #4, coat with glue; also coat the area outlined on piece #23.  Carefully replace Bottom Frame #3 and Tray Slide #4, nail these pieces in place using 2-penny nails.

Turn the Front #23 over and mark off 4 lines; one line 4 ¾” down from top and one line 5 ½” down from the top, 2” from one end mark the top line about every two inches for screw locations, mark the second line so marks are between the marks on the top line.

The next two lines are laid off 1” from the bottom and 1 ¾” from the bottom.  Mark off for screws the same as described above.  Drill and countersink the holes as marked and using the #9 – 1 ¼” wood screws, fasten pieces #3 and #4 to Front #23.

Step 4:

The Back #24 is assembled the same way as the Front #23----Follow the directions given.

Step 5:

The Bottom #24 has only the Runner #9 to be attached but this cannot be done until the Ends, Front and Back are assembled as the Bottom must be screwed to the other parts.  If the Runners are installed now the screws cannot be put in under the Runners.

Even though the Runners cannot be installed yet, this is the best time to make your layout.  Place the Bottom #24, number side down and mark lines 6” from each end as shown on Sketch G; Turn Bottom #24 over and mark a line 7 ¼” from each end as shown on Sketch H.  Lay Bottom and Runners aside.
