2. While the Top (2) and Upper Headboard (3) are
clamped in place, drill and countersink (if desired)
pilot holes for #8 x 2" Screws (not included).
Fig. 2.
3. Release the clamps to separate the parts. Use a
doweling jig and 3/8" drill bit to bore 3/8" x 5/8"
deep holes in the inside face of the Top (2) and
3/8" x 1" deep holes in the top edge of the Upper
Headboard (3). You will join these pieces with
3/8" x 1

1. Place the Top (2) on a work surface so that its inside
face is oriented up. Position the Upper Headboard (3)
on edge on the inside face of the Top (2) so the
pieces form an “L.” Clamp in place and mark locations
for three joint-reinforcing dowels across the back
edge of the Top (2) and back face of the Upper
Headboard (3). Also mark drilling locations for four
screws on the top face of the Top (2).

Failure to use appropriate fasteners and
construction practices could undermine the
structural integrity of your cabinet, potentially
leading to cabinet failure and serious injury.
>
Do NOT use an impact driver to drive fasteners;
the added torque of an impact driver increases
the risk of stripping the pilot holes and weakening
connections. Do NOT overtighten screws.
