PANET
ASSEMBTY
provides a quick, accurate way to do
tlis (see page 24).Then cut the panels
to shape using a jig saw (Fig. 2) and
install the panels, as shown rn Fig. 3.
Once the panels are in position,
screw the slats to the upper and lower
frames and the middle shelfsuppors.
Final Details - At this point,
there are just a few final details to
take care of.To keep the slats from
rwisting, I attached a permanent cleat
(f) to the back panel. I also added a
small upper shelf (K). It's notched
to fit around the legs and screwed to
the back slats. Finally, I added square
caps (L) and round finials to the legs.
A To ossemble the ponels, use l,/4"-thick blocks to
spoce the slots evenly. Then clomp ocross the ponel
ond ottoch temporory cleots to keep the slots oligned.
A After loying out the orcs on the
ponels (see poge 24), use o iig
sow to cut them to shope.
