ASSEMBLE THE SCREEN
FIGURE 16-8
Organize parts. For
each panel, build the
frame, add face parts
to both sides, and fas-
ten. Join three panels.
03: Group A with B, C with D, and E with F
parts, keeping small, medium, and large faces
together. For the frame parts, group AB, CD,
and EF parts together, as shown in Figure 16-8.
04: Once all the parts are cut, keep them grou-
ped. If adding a finish, do so in batches, work-
ing with part groups through the entire
finishing process. Finish parts according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and/or your ear-
lier evaluations of the test piece. Store grouped
parts in a protected area and make sure that
the finish has dried or cured completely prior
to final assembly.
ASSEMBLE THE SCREEN
01: With the numbered parts organized, as
shown in Figure 16-8, you’re ready to assemble
the screen panels. By using the diagram/key
shown in Figure 16-9, and going panel by panel,
the Cellular Screen is relatively straightforward
to assemble.
02: Working on the floor or on a workbench,
place a moving quilt to protect both your
screen parts and work surface. Gather all the
parts, keeping them close by and organized in
their respective groups. Set aside the large top
part and all feet parts. Keep a rubber mallet
and blocking handy, as well as blue painter’s
tape, a drill, and all fasteners. Some help is
essential when joining the three panels
together.
03: Collect all A-parts, B-parts, and AB-Frame
parts, shown in Figure 16-9.
04: Slot the AB-Frame parts together on the
work surface and lock the A-Face parts into
place on the frame. If necessary, use a rubber
mallet and blocking to gently persuade the
tight face parts into place.
05: Working from top to bottom, install all fas-
teners through the A-Face parts and into the
frame. If not using self-tapping screws, consult
“How to Drill” on page 206.
06: Flip the panel over and follow the same pro-
cess with the B-parts on the opposite face,
locking face parts into place and securing with
fasteners.
07: Add the end AB face and one end foot;
secure all the parts with fasteners.
08: Follow the same process with the CD and
EF panels, using the key shown here.
Parts on the A/B and E/F panels are actually
identical and just placed in a rotationally sym-
metrical orientation.
09: With all three panels complete, join the
panels to each other. Hold both the AB and CD
panels upright (with the assistance of a friend)
and walk the two panels together to form the
corner.
10: Move the corresponding tabs and slots into
one another. It helps to hinge the two panels
