CONSTRUCTION PROCESS - DAY 3

BUILDING THE RAILS: 

     1.  Cut the plastic tubing into 12mm pieces using a stanley knife (the tubing will be used to 
            cover each nail) (Figure 14).
     2.  Thread plastic tube onto each nail (Figure 15, 16).













NOTE: Blanking caps finally arrived in the post from Fitch Rubber (South Australia). However, they were the incorrect size (Figure 17) and had to be reshaped in order to fit through the key holes.












  
  3.  Reshape rubber caps using a disk sander (Figure 18).
  4.  Cut them to the correct length (15mm) using stanley knife (Figure 19, 20).













    5.  Place rubber blanking caps over each nail (Figure 21, 22).













    6.  Place steel bars in position, using 10mm foam as a height spacer for the back rails 
         (Figure 23).
