Figure 6. Attaching the hanger racks to the side walls (step 5).

Figure 7. Box assembly (steps 7, 8, and 9).

6. Turn the back on edge so that it rests on one of the corner supports. Set one of the sides at right angles so that the sawn ends are flush with the outside of the back. Approximately 1⅛″ in from the edge, nail each side board into the back corner support with two 6d nails per board.

7. Rotate the box so that the side rests on your work surface. Set the second side in place with its sawn ends flush with the outside of the back. Be sure the runners for the lid are opposite each other. Nail through the side boards into the back corner support.

You should now have a three-sided box with 2 × 3 supports in each corner. Set the box aside.

8. For the door frame, cut two 2 × 3s to 48″ and two to 44½″. Rest one of the 48″ lengths on edge. Into it, toenail the shorter uprights, one at either end, using 8d nails.

Lay the second 48″ length on edge. Tip up the U-shaped 2 × 3s so that the shorter uprights can be toenailed into the bottom cross rail.

9. Rest the three-sided box on its back. Set the door frame on top so that the top and bottom cross rails align with the outside edges of the sides. Measure in 1⅛″ along the uprights and nail the frame to the corner supports with 10d nails.
