- Today i started working on the Cleats and marked the measurements and angle of the timber to the width of the legs in the front right under the base of the saw horse. Then i cut the sides off so it looked like a triangle then planed the bottom of the triangle on an angle cause of the legs and how they face outwards instead of like a normal table leg. Then i glued and nailed it in after i mark and drilled holes of where the nails were going to get nailed in and i did this this for both sides.
- Then i started on the brace and started by ruling out 50mm on the edge on both sides and drew a line on an angle connecting the two 50mm marks together. I started cutting at one end of the timber while it was in the vice facing vertically up after i sawed it i turned it to the other end and started sawing from there making the two cuts far apart from each other instead of connecting. I then found out not to face my timber vertically up but to line the angle line facing up so that the line is straight up when i cut it and to not change ends when i cut one side. Cut all the way with one cut. Then i planed the sides that were sawed in half till they both were squared with each other and then marked the middle of the saw horse to place the middle brace on for me to nail in. I mark the middle by measuring the width of the saw horse and then finding the middle of it. Then i drew a line all the way across to the front of the cleat and marked 30 and 70mm for the drill to drill holes for the nails so that i wont drill into open space or nail the nails in with the ends sticking out from the side of the middle brace.
- Now im up to the legs and i found the legs very easy to measure but some parts difficult were you need a partner to help you square off the legs and then i cut two of the legs but didnt have enough time to do the other two. After we went into the room and calculated the measurements of the Foundation Plan. At first it was hard and i was about to fall asleep bu then out of no where i became interested because i asked for help. And found calculating the sides, front, back and bearers of the house understanable.
