step(3) pre drilled holes in the bottom of the cabinet and screwed the bottom frame to the bottom of the cabinet..

step (1) I needed the cabinet to be about 3 inches taller so i ripped on the table saw three 3 '' pieces which i cut to size to fit inside the top of the cabinet and screwed them in .
