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