Thursday morning, today, I drilled holes along the rabbets and dadoes so I could screw the case together. I spread glue on each joint, and screwed everything together. It wasn't quite square when I was done, so I loosened a few screws and smacked it with a big hammer. Then I tightened the screws again. Now that it was square, I nailed a thin panel of plywood onto the back. It will help hold it all together and keep it square.

Here is the case in the bathroom. It was a pain getting it upstairs, because it's taller than all the doorways, and there were lots of tight corners to get around. I'm taking a break right now. This afternoon, I'll secure it to the base, and start working on the face frame.
