Fabrication Instructions:

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

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.

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