Step 5
We are now going to install the back panels. Start with the
plank labeled on the back “1st Plank”. Line both ends of
the plank up with the grooves on the top and bottom shelf,
and slide down into the groove on the left bookcase side.
The tongue will be facing upward as shown. Install the
remaining planks in the same manner, ending with the
plank labeled “Last Plank”.
Your planks have been graded at the factory to be good on
the face of the plank. This is the side which has been fac-
tory sanded. The backs of the planks are not graded for
appearance and are not sanded.
Step 6
Install the right bookcase side by lining up the bolts with
the holes in the ends of the top and bottom shelf and press
into place. Make certian the back plank seats properly in
the groove. Install cam locks in the same manner as you did
in steps 3-4.
Step 7
Next you are going to attach the applied mouldings to your
case. This is the hardest part of the assembly process. It is
easiest to lay the bookcase flat on it’s back. Start with the
top arched moudling. Line it up so that it is flush with the
top of the case and side to side.
At this point you can secure it by placing screws from
underneath through the connector brackets on the book-
case side and top shelf and screwing into place. Or, it is
highly recomended that you predrill holes in the backs of
the moudlings. Using the brackets as a template, take a
screw and press into the back of the moulding to make an
indentation. Drill an 1/8” pilot hole about 3/8” deep. Be
careful not to drill all the way through the board. By pre-
drilling these holes, you will have a much easier time tight-
ening the screws. It is worth the extra time rather than
trying to muscle the screws tight.
