How To Assemble The Frame

Now that we've got all the parts cut, we're ready to take apart the temporary frame and build the final machine!

Step 2: Collect the leg parts

Step 6: Repeat

Repeat steps 2-5 for the second leg. It can help to build the second on on top of the first one to insure that they are identical.
