Building The set 4

Next in the process is adding the hardwood to the frames. Henry showed us how to do this, First you have to mark out in pencil where the slats on the frame are. This was done by holding the hardwood flush with the frame on top of it and marking the hardwood underneath it. Then we ran pva over the edge of the frame to help hold the hardwood in place. With this done you place the hardwood flush over the frame and starting from one edge use a nailgun to attach the two. With one edge done you work along one end to create an L shape of nail attachments then work up securing the rest.

Though simple this process is of course time consuming.
