Okay, now you really need that second person.
Take the left castle side and align the left ends of all
of the cross pieces you installed on the right castle
side with the corresponding holes on the left side.
Push them all through.
Take your last three wedges and place them in the
ends of the three cross pieces. Now you can use
your mallet to hammer in the wedges securely.
Installing back, breast and
knee beams.
For packing purposes, the blocks
that hold the back beam are
installed
inside the castle sides (fig 3)
Unbolt these blocks and install
them on the back of the castle sides
(fig 4). There are 2 pairs of holes in
the castle side and the bolts will go
through the lower hole of each pair.
Tighten the wingnuts and be sure
that the back beam
slots are on the
same level as those that hold the
breast beam.
Install the small wooden dowels
into the holes in the blocks for the
back beam and in the side frames
where each of the beams will sit.
A tap with the mallet will set
these in place.
