What is the rationale for this method? Easier to install? I like the look. I might do the same but for technical reasons. The height of my board*is 4'2". So I would have to use the long side of a 4x8 sheet and waste a lot of wood. I figure if I use the short side of the sheet and compensate the missing 2" with a base like yours I would save a lot of money on wood. But I'm still in the design stage.Daddyo wrote:
The base for mine I built out of a solid piece of teak. I made a mortise in the teak and a tenon in the style bar. The style bar/board/plate sits in the mortise and is screwed and teak plugged horizontally. The teak base plate is screwed and plugged vertically.
