Check the measurements from corner to corner to make sure that it is square. Begin the installation of the drawer dividers with the bottom divider. Make sure it fits snugly, add a thin bead of glue to the bottom of this divider and attach it to the case through the bottom with l1/^" wood screws. The dovetailed dividers are installed into the case after adding a small amount of glue into each socket as well as on the leading edge of the sliding dovetail. Once those dividers are in place it is time to install the V2"-thick dividers for the drawers behind the doors. Be sure to mill the drawer runners for the interior drawers before you install the dividers. To install all these pieces you simply slide the divider into position.
