One of the 11'7/8" pieces with a diagonal 1'9-7/8" from one end
Cut the marked pieces.
Lay out a 32’ assembly as shown in the diagram
Start 2 screws at the end of each outside beam piece.
Spread glue on one 5-1/2” face of the center beam pieces.
Set one set of outside beams on the glued pieces.
Clamp at each beam end and screw together as shown in the detail, adding more screws at about 18” intervals.
Turn the assembly over and spread glue on the other 5-1/2" face of the center beam pieces.
Set the other set of outside beams on the glued pieces.
Clamp at each beam end and screw together as shown in the detail, adding more screws at about 18” intervals.

Start 2 screws at the end of each outside beam piece.
Spread glue on one 5-1/2” face of the center beam pieces.
Set one set of outside beams on the glued pieces.
Clamp at each beam end and screw together as shown in the detail, adding more screws at about 18” intervals.
Turn the assembly over and spread glue on the other 5-1/2" face of the center beam pieces.
Set the other set of outside beams on the glued pieces. Be sure the points of the diagonal cuts are on the same side of the stringer.
Clamp at each beam end and screw together as shown in the detail, adding more screws at about 18” intervals.
