1. Cut pieces to size as per cutting list.
2. To make the cross sections of the dividing pieces you need to cut a slot 12mm wide and half way down the piece. Cut the opposite half on the joining piece, (see diagram). Use a small amount of PVA and slide them together.
3. Nail and glue the sides to the ends then attach the bottom.
4. Push centre-dividing section in place.
5. Using a hole saw cut out the buttons. Be sure to firmly clamp down the workpiece.
