Installation
1. Print the template
Print with 1:1 scale (actual size, no fit) on a letter sheet (8.5″ x 11″). Measure “Print Calibration” to ensure the template didn’t get resized during the print:
2. Trim the template & glue to plywood
NOTE: We recommend hardwood plywood (such as baltic birch, maple, oak). We used 3/8″ thick, but 1/2″ would work too. 1/4″ won’t be strong enough! Hardware stores such as Home Depot normally carry this, or you can buy small 12″x12″ baltic birch squares online.
You can trace the contour with a pen, but we find gluing the template to the plywood is a bit more accurate. A glue stick works fine, or spray adhesive such 3M 77 is good too (not much is needed)!
3. Cut the Plywood
Use a jigsaw with a wood blade to cut along the template’s contour:
4. Drill the holes
“Punch” the center of each hole; it’s more precise and prevents the drill bit from roaming on the surface (we use an automatic center punch because we have one, but anything sharp works).
Clamp the bracket on a scrap piece of wood and drill the holes to their final size. It’s a simple way to prevent tearing off the back side of the plywood when the drill bit exits the hole.
5. Finish the wood
Finish the wood to seal it from moisture, protect it from stains and to enhance the appearance. We often use Watco Danish Oil or Varathane Stain & Polyurethane, but anything to your taste will work!
