Body assembly 7 inch back fix :

Your plywood body should now be ready.

To avoid getting your hands and plywood dirty. Clean the laser-cut edges. Laser cutting burns the plywood and forms a layer of carbon.

  • Place the foam protection supplied with the screen on the underside of the front panel : Assembly_1.jpg

  • Put the screen like this :

  • Use a Roofing bolt & nut 5X16 to secure the side to the front panel, but do not overtighten :
    The side must be able to move slightly :

  • Slightly bend the part of the back face to relax the part that will be curved.

Note:

  • Don't force it, it's wood, not reed. It may break.
  • Wash your hands after this step (there will probably be some carbon released from the small cuts).

  • Place the rear panel in the notches (the sides must be able to move slightly, if you have tightened the Roofing bolt & nut 5X16 too much, loosen them slightly).
