Western Mountain Buckboard Assembly Instructions
Building the Platform Base
Remove the platform parts – Platform, and three cross braces from the 1/16th sheet WB-1 1.
by cutting the connector tabs with a sharp #11 Xacto blade.
Sand all edges to remove tab burrs and excess burned char, and then lightly sand all top 2.
and bottom surfaces to remove any burn residue characteristic of laser cutting.
Use water based wood stain (MS4975 English Oak). Water based stains assure compatibil - 3.
ity with most glues including CA once dry. Solvent based stains DO NOT always allow glue
adhesion over time. Stain parts on all edges and surfaces.
After stain is completely dry spray parts with a Clear Matte Finish. When dry sand lightly to
4.
smooth surface and then spray a second time.
The three cross bases have small starter holes to receive the #8 pins that simulate the 5.
screw heads. Paint the pin heads first with a primer then with Satin Black paint by sticking
them into a scrap piece of cardboard, 65 in total. Starting with the center brace and insert
the painted pins (23) in the starter holes using needle nose pliers. Work carefully and hold
the pin near the point to press fit into the holes and then press in all the way so that the
pin head is flush to the surface. Repeat pin insertion for the front and rear braces.
Carefully apply a drop of CA glue to the pin shafts to securely glue the pins in place. 6.
Once the CA is set then using small end cutters, carefully cut off each pin shaft as close as 7.
possible to the wood surface. Should any pins loosen during cutting, just glue again. When
cutting pin shafts off hold the parts down into a wastebasket and wear safety glasses.
Once all pins are cut off; then using a mill bastard file, CAREFULLY file the pin shaft ends 8.
flush with the wood surfaces. Should any pins loosen during filing, just glue again.
Determine the bottom front edge of the platform; the front edge has a bolt hole in the 9.
center along the edge. The top has the laser lines replicating the individual boards. Then
measure 2- 1/2” from the front edge and draw a light reference line on each side of the
platform using the laser cut building square supplied on WB-1.
