- Bent the upper flanges (to 66deg) of the two fixed ends of the panel (photos 1 & 2).
- To make sure all 3 pieces added up to the correct overall length I marked 853mm on the table top, aligned and clamped the two fixed ends, and then aligned/centered the removeable center section on top (photo 2).
- Clamped everything in place then drilled 3 pilot holes at each end of the removeable panel, through the fixed pane behind.
- Installed 8-32 floating nut plates at the back side of the fixed panel (left side completed tonight) and screwed the parts together (photo 3).
