22. Cut the remaining drawer parts (F and G) to length and width.

23. Dry fit parts F and G with the drawer bottom (K).

24. Make adjustments as necessary.

25. Glue up the drawer parts, clamp, and allow to dry.

26. Make sure the assembly is square and sits on a flat surface while the glue is drying.

27. Cut out the stock for the false front of the drawer (H) from particleboard or plywood.

28. Cover the false drawer front with white plastic laminate.

29. Edge the front with 1/8" thick oak strips.

30. Dado the sides of the drawer 3/8" deep x 3/4" wide for the guides.

31. Use two 1/4" x #8 flathead wood screws to mount the drawer front to the face of the drawer.

32. Cut the drawer guides (J) to size.

33. Use two 1" x #6 flat head wood screws go fasten the guides to the sides (A).

34. Install the drawer and check for a good sliding fit. If there is any tendency to bind, the drawer guides can be slightly sanded or shaved as needed.

35. Give the entire project a thorough sanding.

36. Use a sharp chisel to remove any areas of glue squeeze-out.

37. Final sand with 220-grit sandpaper.

38. Final finish with a quality penetrating oil, which will soak into the wood and then harden to form a durable finish that looks most attractive on a piece like this.

39. Apply a coat of wax to the drawer guides to keep the drawer operating smoothly.

40. Install four casters to the bottom so that the base is 1/2" off the floor if you would like the cart to roll around.
