Step #8
Carefully slide the beam into place on
top of the legs. Lower this gently! Drop-
ping it into place, even from a short dis-
tance, risks chipping.
Check the fit, and position the legs care-
fully to ensure that they are plumb with
the sides of the beam. Make a small pencil
mark against the chase face that indicates
where the outside of the legs rest, and
then carefully dismantle the beam, slips
and legs.

At this point, it is good to do a dry fit of
the legs, side slips and beam to ensure
that all parts are properly located. Posi-
tion the two legs first, then slide the
slips carefully into position to ensure
that the back face of the slips fit up
against the front of the fireplace. A small
gap here is not a problem, as it quickly
disappears into shadows. But if you
properly located the firebox, then this
will not be an issue.
Step #9
Apply a thin line of cement along the
bottom of the leg, and along the back
edge, where the leg will meet the wall.
Carefully lower the leg into position en-
suring that it is firmly bedded on the
hearth and against the wall, along the
pencil mark that you have previously
made. Take extra care to not get the ce-
ment all over the wall, as this will make
the clean-up much harder. Repeat with
other leg.
Important: Make sure you do not step
on the hearth, as this will leave marks,
and will possibly cause it to lose level!
