Step 5Making the Connectors
When you are finished, you will have 10 4-way connectors, 6 5-way connectors, and 9 6-way connectors.
4-Way Connectors
1) Begin by cutting ten strips that have ten holes each.
2) Next cut twenty strips that have seven holes each.
3) Once you have all of your strips cut, you will use a vise to bend the pieces. Each bend should be approximately a 25 degree angle. On the strips that have ten holes, bend them twice, at the fourth hole from each end. Do this for all ten strips. For the seven-hole strips, bend them once, at the second hole from one end.
4) Once you have all of the pieces bent, you will assemble them. Attach two of the seven-hole strips to the middle (fifth hole from either side) of the ten-hole strips. Place the seven-hole strips on top of each other. Then, using a bolt and a nut, connect them together. You do not need to fully tighten the bolts at this time.
5) Repeat step four until you have a total of ten connectors.
