There are eight holes in each side panel that will be used in steps 4 and 15 below for support bar screws. Use a plastic mallet
to pound
1
/

-20 screw inserts (#9 oyster) into these holes.
NOTE:
The panels are large and hard to keep aligned when you attach them together with screws. Because of this, in several of
the following steps you will be told to “peg” the parts first by inserting wood dowels (#6). These dowels fit snugly into existing
5
/
16
"-diameter holes in the panels, and may have to be tapped into place.
2. Insert wood dowels into the side edges of the top panel (#20), and the back side of the bottom front stretcher panel (#25).
