1. Buy 1 piece of 4’ x 8’ plywood with 3/4” minimum thickness & 8 pieces of 1 1/2” x 2 1/2” dimensional lumber.
2. Cut the plywood with 2 diagonal cuts from one corner to the midpoint of the opposing side. Cut 3 pieces of the dimensional lumber exactly in half.
3. Glue the 2 right triangle pieces together so you have 2 triangles with congruous dimensions. Combine the dimensional lumbers into 3 frames using ‘sandwich rigid-angle’ connectors.
4. Use stair angle connectors to connect the 2 plywood triangles into one of the lumber frames by putting the triangles into vertical positions.
5. Connect the remaining 2 lumber frames by positioning them perpendicular against the base frame.
6. Use these 2 perpendicular frames as a handle to tilt the object in its entirety 90 0 into upright position.
7. Reposition the perpendicular frames into your desired positions. I m p o rta n t : move one frame at a time. Make sure to fasten and properly connect a repositioned frame before you reposition the other.
8. Using scrap objects you can find, reinforce the strength of each lumber frames’ corners. Improvise!
