Metal Corner Brackets
One but that’s not so important I just want to make Metal Corner Brackets sure that I’ve got all the board’s in the right order in the right place you can label them if you like I’ll say this is corner number one this is corner number two and so on as so forth I like to put the work together like this I’ll stand it up on the table just like so but you see it’s a little bit wobbly now what I can do is before I start driving my nails II can just mark the thickness of the wood so I know my nail is going to fall in the middle of the board I’m going to put a nail here and I’ll mark the same on this end now as you saw before when everything is up here in the air it’s all a bit wibbly-wobbly and that’s very difficult to work like that so we can start off with it flat on the table take.
Your nail you already gave it a blow on the point so it won’t split the board and you can partially drive it so it just reaches the other side and we can do that these four spots now about hammers there’s all sorts of hammers on the market just use what’s comfortable for you and hold the hammer down here not up here because here you’ve got no power when you hold it here you’ve got a long lever and if I don’t want the board to split but it is and tap it on the head so everything’s wobbling around up here what you can do to help yourself or you can just take a piece of wood at 90 degrees you can put a clamp here and that will hold it steady or you can build.
A little G like this and with this G you can hold the board like that place this all up here and now everything’s very stable and it’s not wobbling around anymore you just looked at your boards are flush on the ends and on the sides and now with a couple of blows I’m not going to assemble the whole box now if you liked this video please like if you’ve got any questions put them in the comments below and subscribe to my channel thanks very much see you next time okay so on today’s quick tip I’m going to show you we’ve got here these bonding plates for 2020 extrusion and 4-pack of these is about 1314 dollars on Amazon and it really is just a piece of plated.
Aluminum it’s anodized Metal Corner Brackets which makes it look nice but they’re pretty expensive and it really is just a small piece of extrusion with some screws in it so what we’re gonna do today is on the quick tip we’re gonna show you how to take this very run-of-the-mill piece of aluminum you can pick it up at any hardware store I get mine from metal supermarkets but you can get this just about anywhere at the hardware store and make these for this piece was $6 so you can go ahead and make this in just a couple of minutes so I’m gonna show you how to do it real quick so let’s get to work so what I’m using here is eighth inch by two and a half inches it’s just flat bar stock.
