What happens here

With all the wooden components cut and ripped, the creator begins marking the leg pieces. He lays out one of the long leg pieces and uses a tape measure and pencil to mark the positions where the horizontal cross members will be attached. He makes marks at 12 inches, 24 inches, and 36 inches from the non-pointed end of the leg. These marks will ensure even spacing of the cage's tiers.

Goal: Establish even spacing for cross member attachment on the legs.

Tools and materials

  • Pencil/Marker — Marking the measured points on the wood
  • Ripped Wooden Leg Pieces — The vertical supports that will be marked for assembly
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the intervals on the leg pieces
