Step 6Add the bottom piece
Turn the tower on it's side and test fit the bottom piece.
Without pinning it yet, turn the tower right side up and test fit the tray front piece.
On mine, the bottom was a little long and the tray front didn't fit all the way. So I took off the bottom piece and trimmed it about 1/8". That let the tray front piece fit snuggly.
Once everything fits snugly, start with the gluing and toothpickin' on the bottom. On the bottom piece, do four toothpicks on the sides and two each on the front and back. All four sides need to be pinned.
Don't glue and pin the tray front piece yet, we want to test fit the felt first. It's a lot easier to work with the felt without the tray front piece in place.
