STEP 1
Drawer Assembly
Tap in post with a hammer to start and screw
down with a screwdriver or with a small allen
wrench until the shoulder of the post hits the
wood. Then unscrew until the hole is parallel with
the groove on the bottom of the Drawer Front.
To understand how the bastion fastening system
works see “Tips on how the Bastion System
Works” or visit www.catskillcraftsmen.com and
click on our instructional video.
A. Fasten Drawer Back to Sides
with 1 1/4 #8 screws
B. Slide Drawer Bottom in - best side up.
C. Attach Front with Bastions
D. Attach Drawer Handle with 1” Machine
Screws
E. Attach Drawer Handles

Step 1
1. The Bastion fastening system consists of a steel post (threaded on one end with a
hole through the shaft on the other end); a Barrel Nut (cylindrical barrel-shaped with
threaded open end & holes through the sides); and a Set Screw (Phillips slot on one end,
pointed on the other)
2. To attach Posts: A) Dip threads of Post in vegetable oil. B) Align threaded end of Post
with hole in wood, tap on slotted end with hard hammer until threads enter, then tighten
down using a flat head screw driver or the provided allen wrench (See the Illus. Bas. 3 for
alternate seating methods). DO NOT TRY TO HAMMER THE POST ALL THE WAY IN AS
IT WILL STRIP THE POST HOLE. C) When solid shaft of Post hits wood, back out
approximately ½ turn until the hole in the posts is properly aligned as per step by step
directions. For example: the holes in the posts on the inside of the drawer front will be
parallel with the long length of the drawer front when properly seated.
3. A) Place a Barrel Nut into the nut access hole, so that the threads in the nut face out.
The small notches on either side of the nut opening, indicate the location of the holes
through the sides of the nut. B) Insert the posts through the end of the braces (or drawer
sides); through the holes in the sides of the nut. When properly aligned, you will see the

RIGHT!
hole in the post inside the barrel nut. Post hole should be slightly off-center toward the wood.
4. Insert the Set Screw into the threaded end of the nut and tighten down. The tip of the Set Screw will seek the center of
the hole in the Post as it is tightened down, forcing the Nut toward the main shaft of the Post. This is what tightens the
wooden parts together. Set screws should thread easily – DON’T CROSS THREAD! If Set Screw doesn’t thread easily,
check position of the hole in Post.
5. If the wooden parts are not tight against each other, the Post needs to be screwed a half turn at a time until wood joints
are tight.
