STEP 1
ASSEMBLE SIDE PANELS
A. Each side panel consists of two (2) legs, one (1) top side
brace and one (1) glide support brace. When assembled,
diagonal legs will be the same (i.e. Front Right/Back Left &
Front Left/Back Right). Side panels are identical when
assembled -- the drawer glides will determine left and right
sides.
B. Tap a 3/4” pin in each end of the top side braces. Take
each of the 4 legs and install one (1) bastion post per leg, on
the side of the leg which also has two (2) pin holes for the
glide support sticks. Locate post holes. Tap posts in with
hammer until threads engage wood; turn posts down until
the solid shaft hits the wood (all threads are into wood), then
back post out until the hole in the post is perpendicular to
the long length of the leg (about 1/2 turn).
C. Lay out Front Left leg, one (1) top side brace and back
left leg as in Illustration 1A. Note the two pilot holes for the L
brackets are along the top inside of the top side brace.
D. Take the top side brace and drop a barrel-shaped bronze
bastion nut into the nut access hole as illustrated. Threaded
end of the nut faces out. Insert front left leg post into the
hole in the end of the brace, through the side of the barrel
nut, until the hole in the post can be seen through the
threaded end of the nut. Insert the set screw into the nut
and tighten down. The tip of the set screw will seek the
center of the bastion post as it is tightened, leaving a tight
joint. If the joint is loose, check to make sure the set screw is
not cross-threaded or that the post is out too far (not
threaded into leg deep enough.) See Instructions for
Bastions illustrations on page 3 for clarrification of assembly.
E. Insert two 3/4” pins into each end of the glide support
brace. Insert brace pins into the holes on the inside of the
left front leg as illustrated (4 pilot holes out).
F. Attach Back Left leg in same manner.
G. Repeat for other side panel.
