Step 4Holes, Grooves, and Screws
Tools:
Pencil
Tape Measure
Drill
Nice Sharp 3/8" drill bit
Jigsaw +blade
3/32" counter sink drill bit (for screw pilot hole drilling)
Bar Clamps
Materials:
1 5/8" Drywall Screws
Masking Tape
I tried doing the holes by hand this time. Following the drawings, I took the 3/8" drill bit and used masking tape to create a stopper on the bit about 3/8" from the tip. Then I measured in 1 3/4" from the edge and 7/8" from the end and drilled the hole.
Next I used the jigsaw to cut the 15/16" long grove. This worked ok, not very straight, but got the job done. Would have been better if it was jigged.
Next I drilled counter sunk pilot holes on the vertical board where it will mount to the wall.
Last I clamped the horizontal board to the vertical board and drilled my counter sunk pilot holes.
