Keep in mind...
n Always wear the recommended
safety gear when using power tools,
and work in a well-ventilated area.
n The finished cabinet will be
heavy, so enlist a second pair of
hands to help move it into position.

1 On the hardwood panel,
round over the edges and
corners with 120-grit abrasive
paper, then smooth all over
with 180-grit. Seal with timber
oil, applying and buffing with
a cloth. Position the top on
the cabinet with 20mm
overhang at the sides and
30mm at the front. Secure to
the inside frame using two
brackets each corner, predrilling with a 3mm bit for
20mm button head screws.
2 Measure the height of the
viewing window frame, add
20mm, then, wearing safety
glasses, use a hacksaw to cut
curtain rod into four pieces
at this length. Use a 16mm bit
to drill four evenly spaced
holes 10mm into the base rail
of the frame and 40mm into
the top. To install the bars,
slide the top ends up into the
top holes to clear the base
frame, then drop the bottom
ends into the base holes.
3 To install the door hardware,
follow the pack instructions to
centre the rail of the door track
set along the front, leaving the
recommended clearance down
from the top of the cabinet,
then pre-drill with a 3mm bit
to secure with supplied screws.
Attach rollers and hang the
door. Position the barrel bolt
at the base of the door, with
catches on the base rail at the
centre and the end, securing
with the supplied screws.
