How I Built this Project
Cut all boards according to the cut list. I lined up the two long boards, found center and clamped it. I shot a couple of nails in to hold it and then I unclamped the boards to shoot more nails in. Take your time and make sure you are shooting the nails in straight!
Before attaching the bottom board, I stained the project and added the lazy susan hardware before attaching the very bottom piece.
I used double sided tape for the photos and made some cutouts of her name and graduation year to customize it!
