What happens here
Begin by constructing the L-shaped side sections that will form the core of the hollow beams. Take two pieces of pre-cut wooden trim or lumber, typically 1x4 or similar dimensions. Align one piece perpendicularly to the edge of the other, ensuring they form a precise 90-degree angle. Using an air-powered nail gun, such as the Metabo HPT NR1890DC, fasten these two pieces together with finishing nails. Drive nails at regular intervals to create a strong, secure joint. Repeat this process to create all the necessary L-shaped sections for your truss design.
Goal: Create L-shaped components for the truss beams
