BE SAFE!
Many of these instructions call for the use of power tools and other hardware that can cause serious injury. Please be careful and wear safety protection whenever possible. I have seen a lot of safety overlooked in my years as a carpenter, to the detriment of that person or someone working near by. Be familiar with a tool before using it. I can not provide all safety precautions that you should deem necessary within these instructions. As always, your own safety is your own responsibility.
Please Note:
In order to provide accurate details, I am continuously editing the instructions that have been posted. All submitted instructionals are updated whenever necessary.
If you see a problem with an instruction, please comment on it.
