Step #11
The side slips must be cut down to
work with the fireplace. There are marks
on the back of the side slips indicating
suggested
slip heights. It is critical that
you check this against the final design
concept that you want to achieve with
the slips relative to the fireplace front.
The slips can be cut with any tile saw.
Make sure you have a good blade on the
saw, and carefully make your cuts. If a
rough edge results from the saw, you
can sand the edge of the cut with a fine
sandpaper. Gently set the side slips into
position, by sliding them behind the
inner edge of the leg.
Step #12
Note:
The next step is frequently where
damage can occur! Make sure that the
beam is properly seated onto the top of
leg before letting go of it, as any
dropping of the beam against the top of
the legs can cause chipping.
Step #13
Check the fit of the beam against the
top of the legs, and install another
wooden shim between the bracket and
the block on each side. This will hold the
beam against the wall in a secure
manner.
Check alignment of the joint where the
beam meets the top of the legs to ensure
that the joint is good, and the leg is not
twisted.
