15. Stand up all four pieces of wood on their FRONT edges on your clean, smooth, flat work surface.

Dry-fit them together. Use a bar clamp to snug the pieces together as shown.
31
Hopefully your
clamps have plastic pads on the bearing surfaces. If not, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the clamps or
you will mar the wood. It just needs to be snug.
16. Pick one corner and line up the pieces of wood as carefully and accurately as you can. Be sure
the faces (the sides touching the table) are flush to each other at the joint.
32
If the parts are a tiny
bit uneven on the back face (that is, the side facing you), that’s okay; don’t worry about it – you
can send it out later.
17. When you are satisfied with the alignment of the corner, add the second clamp as shown and
tighten both clamps moderately to securely hold that joint in place for drilling.
33
Take your time with this step. The overall neatness of your cabinet depends on getting this step
right.
