First cut the web frame pieces to size. Then drill three pocket holes into each frame end. These accommodate screws to attach the frames to the panel ends.

It's important for the web frames to be square, or the whole carcase assembly will go badly. Try this simple trick. Make the front and back rails Vs" long. After assembly, the web frame can be squared-over and then cut to length by crosscutting on the table saw. This ensures consistent widths and squareness and won't affect assembly.

Carcase Assembly

With the web frames glued up and the end panels ready to go, you're ready for assembly of the carcase. Mark the locations of the web frames on the end assemblies as shown on the diagrams. Then follow the photos on the next page to glue and screw the car-

Now you're ready to dry-assemble an end panel. After checking the fit of the panels, do it all over again with glue. Make sure to check the assembly for square after it's clamped together.

case together. Set the carcase upright and check for square. Any adjustments can be made by placing a clamp across the carcase at an angle that will pull it square. When the carcase is dry, clean up any glue that may have collected in the corners next to the drawer guides and tack in the back to hold everything square.

The Top

After cutting the top to size, radius the front corners with a V2" roundover bit. With a V4" cove bit, rout a V4" x V4" cove in the top edge, on the ends and front.

When you attach the top, you'll see that the web frames don't allow enough room to get at the screws easily. So turn the carcase over and drill three V2" clearance holes each in web end and center piece of the second web frame down from the top. You'll only be able to drill your clearance hole at an angle, but that's OK because the hole is used only to get at the screws that attach the top to the web frame.

I used a couple four-way screwdrivers to run the screws in. The trick is to remove the barrel from one screwdriver and attach
