Test Fit

glue up!

[{"selector":"#anim-cb57cafe-5a10-420e-acfb-d3fa6a298808","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dbd4fdf4-122a-4891-a18b-6c39f4795902","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-51a14f13-dbcd-4648-bff0-1687644f5df8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6decc22-bd88-42a5-a462-54037daa9341","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 192.92935%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3be09eb-8064-46c2-aab1-ac47fc288c22","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a7d9d5c-4fe9-4704-be5e-0c716481d5aa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-260.00014%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Now, you're ready to glue and clamp the wood strips together. This might take a few rounds of gluing. 3 3

Add drawer insert

[{"selector":"#anim-f22ce42d-1253-4e4e-b379-471abb336062","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c93df574-ce98-482c-8b4d-5df37ae73410","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-980d88c2-7307-46e5-971a-b90aceb4ce8b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d41125e8-98ba-491a-9b3e-f7926ab5dd29","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 372.11747%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-68ff5b8e-915c-4049-8aba-715b4a656c35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3f6ab1d0-0108-4207-84a8-d1cd82ed0e01","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-260.00014%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Once it dries, slip the insert into your drawer and fill it up! 4 4
