"Now that you have your pieces cut, we're going to sand them and then we'll drill the holes. So you just take your sand paper and rub all the rough edges from the wood. And go ahead and sand the sides. You can just do it like this to the piece of sand paper down on the table. And just kind of move the wood around on it. Sand all your pieces and then we'll drive the holes. Okay, now we have all our pieces sanded and we are going to mark where the holes are going to be on one of the smaller sections. So you'll mark 1/4 inch from the end and 1/4 inch from the side. Right there and put a nice dot there. And do the same on the other side. 1/4 inch X 1/4 inch. Now take that piece and stack all of the pieces together like this and we'll put a piece of masking tape around to hold them in place. And with a piece of scrap wood, just put a piece of scrap wood there, you can hold on to the bottom piece to hold that in place. And with your drill, either a hand drill or an electric drill, you'll drill through all three pieces of wood at once and in through your scrap wood on the bottom. And then on the other side."
