1-7 Now you need two boards about ¾" x 6" x 8" long
[20 x 150 x 200mm]. Both must have perfectly square ends to accu-
rately index the front and rear side stops.
Check for squareness: stand both pieces vertically on a flat
surface. Make sure side edges are flush at bottom and top
.
Turn one piece around on its end
. If side edges are flush top to bot-
tom
, the boards are square. If not,
➃
; cut two that are.

the boards.
