and lower edges of the

side panels.

total of 6 for each side

(top and bottom). Wait for

1 hour.

Now proceed to place the inner

frame reinforcements, starting

from the front side, upper (8) and

lower (9) parts .

Make sure that the pre-holed

reinforcement (9) is aligned

with the lower panel, which

is also pre-holed.

Apply glue and then hammer

the piece with three evenly

spaced nails (C).

Now place the top

reinforcement (8),which is

also the snare support,

Apply some glue, making sure

that the cradled holes are

facing towards you as well as

the guide holes for the nails (D).

It is advisable to leave a small gap, of about 0,5 mm,

between the reinforcement block and the frame of

the cajon, so that the string will have some space

once the front plate is on, so it won't suffer too much strain.
