How it goes together

  1. Glue up the case (top, bottom, sides and back) and the door, rabbeted at every corner.
  2. Fit the shelves and rivet L-braces where they meet the walls.
  3. Bolt the casters under the bottom wall, and one under the door's free edge.
  4. Rivet on the hinges and lid stays, the latches and handles, then the corners and L-brackets.
