North Star II Field Tripod Construction - Accessory Tray Assembly 4

 

The Accessory Tray side rails being installed... (Click for enlarged view)

 

Using the same process as I did with the corner rails, the three side rails of the accessory tray are secured to the bottom section with Seal-All adhesive held in place with painters tape. Once the adhesive cures, holes will be drilled along the bottom edge of the side rails and into the bottom section to hammer in brad nails for a more security connection. The brad nail heads will be recessed and wood putter pushed in to the holes for a more finished look.
