base to take out any warping. Make sure that the tape stays
stuck and that all sides are tightly joined. Allow the glue to
fully cure.
3. While you’re waiting, repeat steps 1 and 2 to build the
other drawer.
4. After the drawers are fully cured, remove the masking
tape and set the drawers upside-down on your work
surface. If the drawers are still warped, spray a light mist
of water on the wood (both sides). Prop up one corner of
the drawer opposite the direction of twist. This removes the
twist by twisting the drawer slightly in the opposite direction.
A couple of coins stacked together work well. Set weight
on the base to hold the drawer down. Let the wood dry
overnight like this.
5. When your drawers are straight and fully cured, sand
all edges and sides so that they sit flush with one another.
6. Glue the drawer face (part #23) onto each drawer so
that the bottom edge is aligned flush with the bottom edge
of the base and the side edges are aligned with the drawer
sides. Clamp on the face using your 1" [25.4mm] steel
clamps. Place a piece of scrap wood under the jaws of the
clamps to prevent damage to the drawer face.
7. Make a pencil mark along each side edge of the
drawer face 1-1/4" [32mm] up from the bottom edge of the
face. Align your ruler with these marks and make a single
mark in the center of the drawer. Drill a 5/32" [4mm] hole
at this mark. Hint: Place a piece of masking tape over the
mark to avoid damaging the wood.
8. Locate the parts shown above. You should have two
plastic knobs, two flat washers, and two 20mm sheet metal
screws. Install the knob.
