You're now ready to make everything you want, so have fun!
PREPARE
• Work in a suitable location and make sure you have a free surface that is clean and
large enough to be able to place your material. You must also have access to a flat
and hard surface that can be used for cutting and assembling.
• Check the list of the necessary material indicated at the beginning of the plan of
the chosen projects, and take it out of the box along with the tools.
• If this is your first project, make sure to carefully study the explanations given in
this manual on how to use the tools and do not hesitate to ask an adult for further
explanations.
TRACE
• You must now trace out the parts for the project. Before each assembly plan, you
will find cutting diagrams for the different components. Carefully follow the measure-
ments and positions shown.
• The simplest thing to do is to draw cutting lines with a ballpoint pen on the material
before cutting.
CUT
• On the left, a drawing shows you the thickness of the component (volume view).
For example, there are thick planks and thin ones, large logs and small ones; be
careful not to confuse them.
• A diagram then shows you the shape of the part to be cut out, and gives you all the
measurements to be respected.
• Every shape to be cut out bears a letter that you can find on the assembly plan. I
advise you to write down each of these letters (in a small size) on each part to make
finding your pieces easier during assembly.
• A piece of advice: when you saw, do not hesitate to stand up to easily get a cleaner cut.
ASSEMBLE
• Now assemble the parts in the order indicated on the assembly plans. Make sure to
double check if the screws drawn on them are large, medium or small (according to the
letter specified: XL for large, M for medium and S for small).
Also, be careful when inserting the screws with the screwdriver : make sure to tighten
them sufficiently but not too much, so that they do not risk tearing the material.
• One last piece of advice: when you are assembling, try to visualise where the part
actually fits when it is attached, in order to better hide the spots where you have written
your letters.
