Ink Drawers
===========
.. figure:: ink_drawers.jpg
:align: center
.. only:: html
.. contents::
These drawers have been designed to store ink samplers (6 ml vials) and
tiny inkwells, but of course can be adapted / used for any kind of small
items.
While smaller than an EuroBox_, they are a third of it in depth and half
its smaller increment in height, so they can be stacked in the same
general space.

For each drawer you will need a base, 95 mm × 95 mm, and two fronts and
two sides that depend on the height of the drawer.
+--------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| height | base (×1) | fronts (×2) | sides (×2) |
+========+===============+===============+===============+
| 68 mm | 95 mm × 95 mm | 95 mm × 65 mm | 91 mm × 65 mm |
+--------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| 54 mm | 95 mm × 95 mm | 95 mm × 51 mm | 91 mm × 51 mm |

For the structure you will need as many 100 mm × 100 mm bases as the number
of drawers minus two, as well as two sides and one back for each drawer.
+--------+---------------+----------------+

| 68 mm | 96 mm × 68 mm | 100 mm × 68 mm |
+--------+---------------+----------------+
| 54 mm | 96 mm × 54 mm | 100 mm × 54 mm |

Ribbon

For each drawer you need 50 mm of ribbon.
Instructions
------------
Cutting
^^^^^^^
Cut all the pieces in the appropriate material.
Drawers
^^^^^^^
Using contact glue attach the back side to the plate,
then the two lateral sides
and finally the front.
Optionally sand the corners to smoothen the joins.
Spread PVA on the bookcloth for the sides, put the drawer so that it is
centered on the shorter side and wrap the bookcloth all around the
drawer, keeping the join as close as possible to one of the back
corners.
Clip the corners of the bookcloth and let the excess adhere to the
bottom and to the inside of the drawer.
Spread PVA on the bookcloth for the bottom, put it on the bottom.
Cut 5 cm of ribbon, fold it in half, and attach it with contact glue to
the middle of the front of the drawer, extending from the edge by 1.25 cm.
Spread PVA on the one of the wider side linings, put it in the back of
the drawer, starting 2 mm from the top edge and extending on both sides.
Repeat for the front of the drawer.
Spread PVA on the narrower side linings, put them in the sides of the
drawer, starting again 2 mm from the top edge.
Spread PVA on the bottom lining, put it in the bottom of the drawer.
Assemble the optional divider inserting each piece in the slots of three
other pieces.
Insert it in the drawer, trimming up to half a mm from the side edges if
necessary.
Repeat for all other drawers.
Structure
^^^^^^^^^
Mark the center line on the bottom plate.
Using contact glue, attach two sides to the center of the bottom plate;
then the two backs;
and finally the two outer sides.
For each remaining drawer space, use contact glue to attach a side to a
square plate;
then the back;
and finally the other side.
Again with contact glue, attach all drawers spaces on top of the ones
already on the base.
And one last time with contact glue, attach the top plate to the two top
drawer spaces.
Optionally sand every place where two cardboard pieces are joined to
smoothen it.
Spread PVA on the bookcloth pieces for the horizontal separators, glue
them in place.
Spread PVA on the bookcloth piece for the central vertical column, glue
it in place.
Spread PVA on the bookcloth piece that wraps around the body, glue it in
place leaving the joint on the bottom, and aligning the front at 2 cm
from the paper edge;
clip the front edge at every separator and glue the front edge towards
the inside of the structure;
and then clip the corners on the back, and glue the bookcloth flat.
Put PVA on the bookcloth piece for the back, glue it in place.
