My little brother's steady hands during drawer assembly

Having him hold the pieces straight while I fastened them stopped any wobble.

That shelf wobble jake mentioned is a real pain. How long did your brother have to hold each piece in place before you got the screws in? I'm trying to picture the setup and if you used any clamps at all before he stepped in.

Had a closet shelf fall apart last week from the same kind of wobble. Nothing beats having a second pair of hands for that kind of job. Makes the whole process way less frustrating. Your brother must have some serious patience to hold things that still. It is always better when family can help out with the boring tasks. That kind of teamwork really saves a project.

Can't believe your brother's hands were that steady. Mine shake just thinking about it.
