Step 7Attach the Bottom Plate
Before doing any sanding, staining or finishing, the bottom plate will be aligned with the top and screwed in place (temporarily). This way, we can sand the whole thing as one piece, ensuring a seamless transition between the pieces when the pedal is finished.
Tape the bottom plate onto the case with masking tape, getting the alignment as close as possible. Note the size of the screws you'll be using and choose a drill bit to match - I used a 7/64" bit. Drill a pilot hole in each of the four corners. Then, add a countersink to each of the holes with a countersink bit.
Screw in all four screws. They should sit flush with the bottom of the case. When you're satisfied, remove the masking tape.
