Step 10
Just like when you did your
dry fit of the parts, insert the
dowels into the sides only
this time put glue into the
dowel holes. Now turn the
project face down. We need
to make sure the project is
square, meaning one side is
not sitting higher than the
other side. To do this
measure from one corner diagonally across to the opposite corner and do
the same for the other diagonal. If the two measurements are the same,
you’re all square. If not, slightly move one of the sides and measure
again until they are equal.
Once you have squared up the sides carefully measure down 6 ½” from
the top edge of the sides and place a mark. This is the where the top
edge of the brace will go. Drill pilot holes with a 1/8” twist bit through
the brace (two on each side) and screw it to the back edge of the sides.
Add the other brace 2” from the bottom and secure it just like the top
brace.
Now I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is
you’re done with another great project. The bad news is now you don’t
have any more excuses for games and movies being all over the house!
