  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
One word of advice...Flood Insurance:ROFL:.

Hey, it's only 250lbs...what could go wrong? :WHOA:

Seriously, like they said, plan it out and watch for splinters.

And a little wood glue wouldn't hurt.

For my wood screws, how should I go about putting them in? Should I just screw them in? Or should I use a nail and put a hole in there then put the screw in? Help wuold be appriciated. Thanks!
 
"use a nail to make a hole in the wood":nilly:

i would recommend drilling a pilot hole before srewing in the screws...witch i also sometimes dip in wood glue before i screw them in...but thats just me...i dont trust wood that much....im a metal man!!

hope that helps!!

nice project man!!:headbang2

Thank you for that.

Ok I have a little bit of an update.

I now know my final cut list. There is going to be:

Seven: 23" cuts
Six: 27" cuts
Four: 31" cuts

I am also going to use 12 "L" brackets also.

Ill be getting all the pieces cut today so we might have an update today!:D
 
is someone else cutting them for you, i would be usuing a handsaw even, thats if u can cut straight because theres not that many to do
 
Unfortunatly I am waiting on someone else... :(

They did me a nice favor and got sick! Wasnt that kind. lol.
So it is on hold for like another day or two, but I guess their health is first so I will just wait. Sorry about all of the delays.
I never used a hand saw so Im sure I would screw up my wood. So thats out of the question. I will have an update as soon as possible.
 
All right good news. Im getting the wood cut tomorrow so then we wont have to wait anymore! :D
 
The wood is cut! I will take some pix shorty!
