Assembling the Board

Lightly sand the frame and drawer organizer tray, using tack cloth to remove dust. Use wood glue to secure the tray to the frame in its desired location. Secure it with clamps until completely dry (according to glue instructions).

Once the paints on the hardboard are dry, secure the cork to the hardboard with wood glue. Clamp until dry.
