Build instructions

Apart from the workpiece you need nothing else.

Carving and finishing

  1. Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
  2. Cut out all strips with their slots; the round bulges at the bottom of each slot are reliefs for the square mating strip.
  3. Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
  4. Before gluing, dry-fit everything. If a joint is too tight, increase the clearance by 0.05 mm and carve the part again; if it wobbles, reduce it.

Assembly and final touches

  1. Push the cross strips, slots down, over the long strips until both are flush on top. Put the grid into the drawer; it holds without glue.
