2. Preparation:
I
tried to make this as simple as possible... I attempted to use tools that the
average person *might* have in their tool arsenal since not all of us (me
included) have tool cache of "Tim Allen" proportions. Substitute whenever
needed... I used what I had available to me. If you can get those holes cut
evenly with tin snips... Then by all means, have at it! And as always... Click
the pic for a full size pic if available.
