Supplies

Tools

• Drill
• 10mm bit
• 8mm bit
• 6mm bit

Parts

• 093.1 - domino board
• 095.2 - 90 mm rod with M6 insert threads
• 034.1 - spacer ~40mm high

Step 1: Make Domino Board

1. Cut your board to whatever size you would like (the example shown is 480x180mm).
2. Round your corners using sandpaper or a sanding disk if available.
3. Drill 4 holes using the dimensions in the image with a 10mm drill bit

Step 2: Make 90mm Rod With M6 Insert Threads

The example shown uses a rod with a length of 90mm but feel free to use whatever length rod you like.

1. Measure and cut rod
2. Mark the center on both the top and bottom
3. Drill a hole 40mm deep on both ends using a 6mm drill bit
4. Dill a hole 15mm deep on both ends using an 8mm drill bit
5. Using a drill bit extender and the proper sized bit, screw in an insert nut on both ends (tip: once the insert nut is in place, refrain from removing and replacing it as it can lessen the strength of the grip the nut has in the wood)

Step 3: Assemble and Use

1. Using the M6 bolt, screw the board, spacer, and rod together on all four sides.
2. Enjoy your new Muli stool.
