Fabrication Instructions:

=Step 1: Punch the holes in the horizontal members (B) and in the drawer members (C)

Step 1

• In the horizontal members, the holes should be 7/8” in from the long side, and as close as you can get them to the wall of the U-channel. There are 4 holes in each piece.
• In the drawer members, the holes should be 4 7/8” in from the long side, and as close as you can get them to the wall of the U-Channel. There are 4 holes in each piece.

Step 2: Mag Drill Holes in Verticals.

1. Gather materials for the “Jig”; this means 6”x12” tubing (52”) and any extra heavy U Channel. If you don't have any laying around, you can use one drawer member, and one spacer on each side.
2. Clamp the vertical pieces to the "Jig" on each end, with extra U channel in between the tubing and the vertical pieces. See the diagram on the right:
   C-Clamp the vertical pieces to the jig as shown.
3. Clamp one horizontal member at each end of the jig.

• Ensure they are square with the jig by using a large square
• Clamp using 1 or 2 vise grips on either side.

1. Transfer Punch thru the holes on B.

1. Mark where the edge of the horizontal member is in relation to the vertical members on the vertical member. Use a square to mark the same location on the opposite side. Do this on all four locations.
2. Remove the horizontal members.
3. Use a Mag-Drill to drill 3/4" holes in each spot you transfer punched.
4. Flip the jig over so you have access to drill the other holes.
5. Align the other horizontal members with the marks you previously made, and insure once more that they are square.

• If it is on the mark on each side, but not square, just get it as close as you can to the marks while insuring it is square.

1. Clamp the members in place.
2. Transfer punch them.
3. Remove them.
4. Mag Drill them.
5. Unclamp the verticals from the jig.

To be continued, during the month of August, 2011...

Step 1. Torch or cold-cut channel to size

Step 3

Diagrams

Step 1: Gather the Form Pieces

Step 2: Put the Form Pieces Together

Step 3: Line the Vertical Beams along the Form and C-Clamp them in Place

Step 4: Place One Each of the Upper and Lower Cross Beams

Step 5: Flip the Frame

Step 6: Place the Remaining Cross Beams
