Making the Frame
|
Now it is time to make a frame. You will need your miter-saw
or framing saw, your drill, the 7/32" drill bit, the philips drill
bit and the 2 1/2" screws. You will also need your measuring
tape and a pencil. Start by setting aside two 96" studs for
the top and bottom of the frame. Next you will need to
measure and mark 6 of your 2x4s at 93 inches. Next cut the
extra pieces off. It is important that these ends be square.
Once you have all 8 pieces ready, take the 96 inch piece you
will use for the bottom of the frame to the wall where you have installed
your vertical supports and place it alongside
the base of the wall. Line it up flush with both sides of the
supports with the wide side flat against the floor. Using the carpenters
square and a pencil, mark where the left side of each support
meets the 2x4. These marks will tell you
exactly where your studs need to be when building the frame.
Next, take the 2x4 you will use for the top of the frame and mark it
the same way.
