When the door section bottoms are installed they must be notched to fit around the legs.They're attached using x 3A" cleats attached to the partition and end. Position the cleats so the bottom panel is proud of the door area rail. This allows it to act as a door stop. Screw the cleats in place.Then peg the bottom in place through the ends and partition. How Many Clamps Do You Have? You're now ready to assemble the case. You're going to need at least four clamps; more if you want a quick assembly. Start by attaching the three drawer dividers between the two center legs. Next attach the partitions between the drawer face assembly and the back piece. Clamp this up and set it aside to dry. If you own enough clamps to continue, glue up the two end panels between the front and rear corner legs. The final step is to glue the end assemblies to the back piece, and to attach the door area rails to the mortises in the legs, and the door area stiles. Screw the stiles in place to the back of the middle legs. Pre-drill a clearance hole and pilot drill the leg to avoid splitting. Doors and Drawers With the case assembled, turn to making up some frame-and-panel pieces — the doors and the bottoms of the door sections. I used a half-lapped frame and panel assembly for the bottoms in the door sections. The panel is rabbeted and rests in a 3/s" x 3/s" groove in the rails and stiles. By using a frame-and-panel bottom, I again help alleviate any problems caused by wood movement, while still using solid wood throughout the piece. The doors are frame-and-panel as well, but are assembled with haunched mortise-and-tenon joinery, again with a rabbeted panel, with the recessed face showing to the outside of the cabinet. For both the bottoms and the doors, glue only the rail and stile joints, allowing the panels to float in the grooves. While the doors and bottom panels dry, move back to the case and remove the clamps. To add strength and to enhance the appearance of the piece, I peg each of the mortise-and-tenon joints with squared oak pegs. Sharpening one end of the peg in a pencil sharpener allows me to start The most complicated joinery location on the piece. Shown here is the intersection of the left, middle leg, with the partition, top drawer divider, and left door section stile and top rail. Once you get a good look, you can see it's simple.
