Step 5
Locate the finished oak upper facing panel that will be attached to the
left and right legs and will sit above the firebox. Position this panel
with the finished oak side facing the front of the mantel. Line up the
holes on each side, insert and tighten 1 wingnut and 1 lock washer on
each side.
Step 6
Get your assistant and locate the top of your mantel. This top is very
heavy. It will take 2 people to lift and position it in place. Ensure the
top goes over the positioning guide located on the header. The top
must go over this guide to be positioned correctly. Line up the holes on
the front and sides. Insert and tighten the wingnuts and lock washers.
Step 4
Locate the lower facing panel and the firebox shelf. Attach the lower
facing panel by placing the finished oak side to the front then line up
the holes on each side and insert 1 wingnut and 1 lock washer into
each. Place the firebox shelf in behind, right up against the lower
facing panel.
