The locator blocks, (pieces 8), are used not only to locate the skin onto the assembled core during glue-up, but also to force the core into "square." If the front and back members of the core have a bend, you can adjust that during steps 4 and 5 of the Critical Path (see tint box, facing page) by using locator blocks — they are simply hot-glued in place. They are not traditional glue blocks, as they do not join components of the shelf together
