c. Turn any center panels over and repeat on the other
side.
Note:
Panels can be large and difficult to keep aligned
when attaching together with screws.
To assist, "peg" the panels first by inserting wood
dowels to fit snugly into 5/16"-diameter holes in
the panels. They may need to be tapped into place.
3. Insert wood dowels
