Step 11Panel Attachment Hardware
To attached the panels to each other, I cut small lengths of metal from stock purchased at Home Depot. (I made a daily stop to that store throughout the project). Using my best guess, I determined the angle of the corresponding pieces with the Angle Tool, then copied it by clamping the metal strip in a vice and tapping it to shape with a hammer (picture 1).
Depending on the length, I'd permanently bolt two, three or four of the angled hardware parts I'd created onto one edge of the panel (picture 2). The screw size was 10-24 1/2" along with #10 nuts and washers. The receiving panel would have bolts with wing nuts so they could assemble and disassemble easily on location.
