j) make binding post slots = Place back inside pot, pushing to the limits around the complete circumference inside the pot. Using the holes for the leg posts, mark a second set of holes for the leg posts. Now, join the two adjacent holes making a slot using a utility knife. This is the most difficult of part of the project. Begin by lightly scoring the flashing with the utility knife. Keep scoring with moderate pressure until it cuts through. Be careful not to cut past the drilled holes. These slots must be equal distance apart and at least wide enough for the screw to pass freely to allow the screen to collapse for packing inside the pot.
