Set Your Screws First! #carpentry #tips
What happens here
Install any remaining framing or trim pieces for the overhead section of the bar. The builder first uses a hammer to gently tap a composite trim piece into its final position on the underside of the top structure, ensuring it is flush and properly seated. Following this, a cordless drill is used to drive screws upwards from the bottom of this trim piece into the overhead frame, securely fastening it in place. This completes the structural integrity and provides a finished look for the top opening of the bar.
Goal: Secure the final overhead framing or trim piece to complete the bar's upper structure.
