Build frame first;
The one piece that was not shipped with the kit form J.O. Woodworks was the bottom. This was because the 8' piece would have added on considerably to the shipping cost.
So I went out and picked up a 9mm sheet. John did send the puzzle joint jig that I need and even sent the router bit to do the job as well as the pattern for the bottom.
I first put the pattern on a couple of door skins in order to feel comfortable with placement on 9mm sheet.
The routing then went off without a hitch;
I now have a lot of gluing to do for the planks and need to use the space to do that so will not be able to start the frames until after. I will post more then.
