DRILL

DART HOLES

Cut a 1x4 to 12 in. and mark

lines where it will be cut at

an angle to fit in the corner.

We made 60- and 30-degree

lines at each end to match

the doors. From the sharp

corner of the 60-degree

line, measure and draw a

line across the top edge of

the board at 5-1/4, 7-1/4

and 9-1/4 in. Align the

pocket hole jig with each

mark, resting it on a 3/4-in.

spacer block and drill

pocket holes. If your jig dif-

fers from the one shown,

your setup may be different.

Drill a 1/8-in. hole to account

for the length of the dart tip

in the center of the hole.

Then cut four pieces of

cove mold to fit inside the

door frame, three pieces of

screen mold to hold the

panels, and four more to

trim the cabinet against the

wall. Sand all wooden parts

to 220 grit, stain, and apply

a few coats of finish.

AT TACH THE

CHALK AND

DART HOLDERS

Drop the steel panel into

the door frame. Fit two

pieces of cove molding

together inside the door

frame, then glue and tack

them to the bottom frame

board in front of the metal

paneling. Before you nail on

the dart holder, cut cork to

fit inside the back panel

and use spray adhesive to

keep it in place.
