Fabrication Steps

(note: part numbers refer to the recently-published parts list)

1. Line up the Inner and Outer Rails (S27, S28) and clamp them together with vise grips.
2. Clamp the Sides (S29), Press Plate (S26), Tube (S24) and Back (S22) and the rails together with vise-grips and C-Clamps.
3. Tack weld the clamped drawer at a few locations down to prevent warping when it is welded together.
4. Complete the welding joints, welding at different locations as you go to prevent warping.
5. Check the completed drawer to ensure that it is still straight.
6. If they are not straight, the rails may need to be adjusted to ensure that the bearings will roll fit them correctly; if the drawer is not even and aligned, it may not fit properly in the frame.
7. Weld the Cylinder Tongue (S23) to the centre of the Back (S22) of the Drawer.
