Step #2:
Position the two end slate sections on the base
frame as shown. Be sure that the penciled arc forms a
radius as shown.
Step #3:
Recheck to be sure the slate has an equal
amount of overhang around the base frame.
Step #4:
Using the 12 countersink holes in the slate as a
template, pilot drill 5/32" diameter holes into the mount-
ing cleats.
Step #5:
Securely fasten the end slate sections at both
ends of the table with 1/4 x 1-3/4" flat head screws for
UNFRAMED slate or #14 x 3" flat head screws for
FRAMED slate.
Step #6:
With a precision tool, level each end slate
section by driving wooden slate wedges (provided)
between the top of the base frame and bottom of the
slate as shown. Keep the wedges as close to the
countersink holes as possible.
Step #7:
With both end slates perfectly level, continue
fastening the end slates at the joints. Recheck for
levelness and, if necessary, back the screws out and
adjust the shim position. Then, retighten the slate
attaching screws.

Step #8:
When satisfied that both end slates are level,
shim the center slate section as required to obtain a
flush fit at both joints, then screw the center slate down.
Step #9:
Slate joints can now be filled with Rock Hard
putty or wax. Lightly sand or scrape across the joints
after grouting.
