If the measurements are equal, nail the sides to the shelves using a few 18-gauge brads. If your measurements aren't equal, clamp the project diagonally from one corner to another. Clamp across the two corners that produced the longest measurement. Apply a little pressure to those corners and keep checking your diagonal measurements. When they are equal, nail the project together. After an hour, take the project out of the clamps and sand See detail for plate rail groove nI 5/l6% ■7^5/l6" Elevation
