Assembling the CFT Box¶

Before assembling everything I had to cut my aluminum pipes to size. I bought three 3m aluminum pipes and cut down in 14 pieces.

Assembling the Box¶

I assemebled the box, added the pipes and the 3d printed brackets for extra durability. I used wood glue in the finger joints and screws to fasten the brackets.

Assembling everything together¶

I used straps and clamps to hold everything together while the glue set.

Before I assembled the box I had laser rastered my worm logo on the side.
