[Music] all right if you made this part in the project you're looking real good let's talk the risers they're going to be cut and jointed together in this 90 degree angle it's going to give us stability it's not going to be swaying because of that we're going to cut these up to 23 inches plus an extra eight inches that's there yeah it'll be plenty tall so we're gonna cut up a few of those and start uh creating razors battery dive [Music] all right so we got everything built and now it's time to actually assemble this entire thing bottom top risers we're going to put these risers on these corners and then from the inside on the inside we're going to take these three inch screws that we're working with at an angle we're going to drive them in notice we're not doing wood glue because this stuff is going to expand and contract with the seasons and besides we're going to have a piece of metal inside this thing around so that'll be the reinforcement parts but these are the risers so let's throw them on yay [Music] if this is your first time building this congratulations you've officially built like a partial table like a like an upside down table probably not a very sturdy one you know securing like that but nonetheless you built a structure be proud of yourself we're gonna we're gonna flip this thing over and we're going to secure the other part of the frame down that way you're not screwing up it's just it just makes life easier the last part is to do the top trim um it's going to be right in the middle we're going to create 45 degrees at an angle to kind of wrap it imagine like a picture frame it just makes it so much nicer you could you could just do a butt joint but listen we're all about making things so much nicer that being said because all the screws already hidden on the inside we're going to do the same well this the side exposed i don't know debate do we secure them from the bottom up or just top bottom down bottom up just let's make it classy let's do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
