Instructions for the General Store #GS
Temporary use of Rafters to locate the Rafter Supports
4F: Attach the Rafter Supports
1. Locate the Back Rafter Support
the Back using Rafters as spacers. Glue and clamp the Rafter
Support to the Back (spring clothes pins are good clamps).
2. Locate the Front Rafter Support
groove using Rafters as spacers. The groove will hold the Top
Plexi; the Rafters will live below the Top Plexi and support it...
Glue and clamp the Rafter Support to the Top Front.
Miniature placement and general access is possible with the Rafters fully installed but painting and
renovations are difficult. For this reason, I install the Rafters with beeswax so they can be removed.
