Instructions
Screws:
The online site I use does not allow for direct linking so here it is:
boltdepot.com/product.aspx?cc=13&cs=71&cm=25&cd=1220
you need at least:
8x of #7981 (1/4")
8x of #5009 (1")
Aluminum Tube:
Get your 3/4 Aluminum Tube cut into 4x 1.2" parts. I use a metal cutting horizontal band saw. However a plain hack saw would work too. I also brush the metal with a belt sander. It adds a cool look.
Masonite Board:
Get your 1/8" material and cut 1 top layer with engraving. Cut the next 2 layers the exact same as the top but no engraving. Lastly cut the bottom layer.
Assembly:
Get the two top board parts and insert the 2x 1" screws and 2x 1/4" screws so that they are sticking out about 1/8". I like to place the 2x 1" screws in opposite corners then the 1/4" in the remaining corners. Rinse repreat for the rest of the top. Place the aluminum tubes under the top board so that all screws slip into the insides of all the tubes. Once aligned do 1 screw at a time on the same column until all columns are screwed in. Finally do the same for the bottom.
Done!
