Now it’s time to drill the braces. Turn the drill<br />
press table to 90 degrees. Clamp on some<br />
straight edges for guides and stops. Drill both<br />
ends of the brace.<br />
Add some cleats on the top side of the bottom<br />
chord and shoes to the bottom.<br />
Get ready to assemble the trusses. Cut short<br />
lengths of 1/8” dowel and glue them in the<br />
braces. The brace ends that go in the angle<br />
blocks are dry. DO NOT try to glue the braces<br />
into the angle blocks. Insert braces into the<br />
angle block on the bottom chord. Insert braces<br />
into the top chord starting at one end and<br />
working to the other. This is real fiddle work,<br />
need about 59 hands for this. Eventually they<br />
go together. Tap down with your hand to seat<br />
all the braces.
