-clamps (i used regular and spring clamps)

I drilled 2 holes on each corner of my sign, i used a size 4 drill bit

Step 3: Filing Down the Ecess Metal

I used a file to remove the metal that popped out caused by the drilling

Step 4: Screwing the Sign to the Tabletop

I used clamps to hold everything in place and to avoid the sign from slipping of.
Mine didnt turn out perfectly but it gets the job done
