ASSEMBLY FIXTURE, FORWARD FRAME ASSEMBLY                                                    AF-2-1
                                                                                                                                                       REV-A



Select a two foot section of 2 by 6 that is flat and has clear sides.

A 2 by 6 is not 6in wide but that is OK.

Cut two lengths 6.5in. long. (plus or minus 1/8 inch)

Accutately align the long edges and glue and clamp the two pieces together to form a
6 by 6.5 by 3 block.  See AF-2

DO NOT use screws for assembly.

The resulting block should be 3 in. thick.

If the block is not 3 in thick, (plus or minus 1/16 inch), take it to a cabinet shop and have it planed down.

Cabinet shops DO NOT like sending screws through the planer.

The critical dimention of this fixture is the 3 in. thickness.

Mark the best long dimention side as    "SIDE  A" in large letters

On the top surface, ½ in. in from the edge of the long side  (SIDE A),  mark a reference  line. Ball point makes a good marker for this.  See AF-2

Invert the fixture and mark a reference line 1 ½ in. in from  SIDE A.



Select a clear ( no knots ) piece of 1 by 4 and cut 2 pieces 6in long.

Drill 2  1/8 inch holes as shown  on AF-2



This completes construction of  AF-2.   Store the fixture and use it for assembly of the forward frame assembly.
