Step 3Build That Frame!
Make your cuts according the the measurements you figured out. Don't forget the corner support pieces.
--Double check your measurements before cutting. I accidentally cut one of my pieces 45" instead of 49" and had to go back and buy another piece. If you were using the same measurements as me, it would be 49" from tip to tip and 106.5" from tip to tip as in the diagram from the previous stage.
Sand any rough edges.
I poked little dents on the portions being glued together so that the glue had that much more surface area to touch. It may have been pointless. You may know better.
Before you start to glue, put all the pieces together to make sure you had true 45 degree angles and that it makes a rectangle correctly.
Set the 4 pieces on the ground in the rectangle. Glue the adjoining faces of two corners and stick them together. Spread any excess glue around (know that there will probably be some coming out the back).
Staple. Use a hammer to lightly tap the staples all the way in.
Repeat this with the other 3 corners.
CAREFULLY flip the whole frame over & staple the back side on every corner.
Now, glue and staple the corner supports that you cut. Hammer tap again. Staple the other side.
