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.
