Drill the holes along the length of the stringer. Flip it end for end to drill the other side of the<br />
stringer. Re-adjust the straight end to drill the center stringer member. This is a very quick and<br />
consistent method to drill holes along the edge of a board.<br />
Use the same technique to drill the floor<br />
beams. The floor beans need additional holes<br />
to receive the truss hanger rods during final<br />
assembly. Drill them now while the pieces are<br />
easy to handle.<br />
Now install the 8 x 8 ties using 18 gauge nails,<br />
1 inch long. Make an “L” shaped drilling jig<br />
from some scrap material.<br />
Cut lengths of the wooden dowel and slightly<br />
chamfer the ends. Glue them into the floor<br />
beams first. And then assemble with the<br />
stringers. A light tap with a soft mallet and<br />
they go right in.
