So it’s easy for you to follow, we’ve put

the step-by-step instructions for this build

on a project sheet. The project sheet also

includes a complete list of the materials

and tools you’ll need to do the job.

To get your free project sheet visit

bhgshop .com.au/projectsheets and

download it – it’s super-simple and you’ll

have it instantly! You can print it out on A4

paper or save it to your device of choice.

And while you’re there, you can browse

for other projects you might love, too!

And here’s a handy hint for you!

If you need to hold a piece of timber while

you cut it, but don’t have a clamp, a caulking

gun is a capable stand‑in. Simply place

the timber on your workbench and put the

gun over the timber. Pull on the trigger

until the gun’s plunger tightens against the

work. When secure, you can start cutting.
