  1. After cutting the semi-circular main pieces, cut a long strip of the same material.
  2. Take one semi-circular base piece and place it flat on the table.
  3. Align the strip along the inner curved edge of the semi-circular cut-out, ensuring it matches the curve accurately.
  4. Take the second matching semi-circular piece.
  5. Apply glue on the top edge of the curved strip and carefully place the second piece over it, making a sandwich-like structure.
  6. Ensure that all edges align perfectly.

  3. Measure and cut another piece to act as a divider inside the structure.
  4. Place it vertically at the desired position and glue it to the base and side panels.
  5. This creates compartments within the structure.
