2) Trim shaft pieces to 2¼" shorter

than opening—2" for cap/base, ¼"

for expansion (¼" if not using cap

and base—each part is 1" thick.)

Always trim from bottom ONLY-

top is marked.

3) If you are going to use screws,

pre-drill/countersink all panels. See

finish nail three panels together.

7) If using screws, assemble three
