face of (wo of the slats. As shown in the photo above left, glue and position one of the marked slats in the groove, aligning the ceniei line mark wiih the center/line on (he bottom rail, Working from the center to the ends, glue the slats and spacers in position, checking that each slal aligns square with the rail Save linking spacers for the ends of the groove, and trim them to length after they are installed. Repeat this process with the second bottom rail. 6 Clamp a scrap strip on each side of the slats to align them as shown in the photo above. Now, run a head of glue ulting the groove in each top Rtll, Center ihe top rail on the center slat, and tap II onlo the ends ol the slats as shown in the photo. Next, tlip the assembly over to keep the glue in the groove from running down the slats. Again, starting at the

center, glue the spacers in position,

and trim the end spacers (lush. Repent this procedure for the second basket side.

ASSEMBLING THE BASKET

1 Cut the hardboard basket bottom

(( i > ami ihe two cleats f II) to size.

2 Run a bead of glue in the ■/." groove in each bottom rail. Insert the basket boltom between the two bottom rails. Dry-clamp the rails In position between the basket end panels, centering the rails over the W dowel boles in the panels. Make sure the rails are flush with die out-side edge of the panels. (We used a bar clamp ai each corner to hold the rails firmly in position.)

3 USJng the previously drilled dowel boles as guides, drill W holes v," deep into the end of each rail. (To do this, we lirst centered a brad-point hit inside the bole, turned the drill on, and then drilled into ihe rails If you start the drill and then try lo Insert and align the spinning bit in ihe guide hole, it tends to drill the bole oversize and off-center.) Later, after the glue holding the hardboard bottom in position has dried, remove die clamps.

5 Cut twelve -Vhx'2" dowels from oak dowel stock. Form a glue groove-in all but the end (which is exposed) of each dowel to prevent forcing ill-.- glue from (he dowel hole. (We held the dowel in a hand screw and formed the groove with a .sharp chisel.)

6 Apply a small amount of glue to the ends of the rails and in (he dowel holes.
