CONSTRUCTION PROCESS - DAY 1

BUILDING THE RAILS:  

     1.  Rule a line across the centre of the rails; this will be a guideline for the suspension/nails   
          (Figure 2).  
     2.  Next you need to work out the required spacing between the nails.
     3.  Mark a point on the left for a pin to hold the suspension.  
     4.  Measure 45mm to the right of the pin and mark a point for the first nail.  
     5.  Measure 38mm and mark a point for each consecutive nail (13 times) (Figure 3). 
     6.  Repeat this process for the second rail.  
     7.  For the 3rd and 4th rails measure 105mm to the right of the pin and mark a point for the 
          first nail.  Measure 38mm between consecutive #/♭ keys and 76mm for the breaks.














 8.  Using a 2.6mm drill bit, drill pilot holes as a guide for each nail (Figure 4).
 9.  Hammer a nail into each point (approx. 10mm into the timber) (Figure 5).















 10.   Mark each nail at 15mm (Figure 6).
 11.   Cut of excess nail with a dremmel (Figure 7).
