Step 3 – Screw the pieces together.Screw the pieces together with pocket hole screws. We used extra long clamps to hold the pieces together. Nice to do, but not completely needed.
Step 4 – Attach center supportAttach a cedar 2×2 in the middle using pocket holes again. Our center support was 56″.
Step 5. Create the diamond patternNext, we took the 1″ Cedar pieces and created a center diamond pattern. All of pieces were cut at 45″ degree angles to they formed the diamond. It is okay if you pieces don’t line up on the edges, we will fix that in a later step. Secure all pieces with a nail gun and trim nails.
Step 7 – Continue making the diamond pattern.We spaced ours 6″ apart.
Step 8 – working towards the centerBecause the center diamond did not have the frame edges to support it, we reinforced the corners with brackets. It make it more secure.
Step 9 – The Center pieceFor the centerpiece, we used two right triangles cut from cedar boards to form the diamond. Maintaining the 6″ spacing between diamonds.
Step 10 – clean up the edgesUse a jig saw to clean up the edges of the frame. This saved us so much time and measuring.
Step 11 – stainI used a spray gun and black stain to finish the piece. Any color paint or stain could work. Could also paint or stain your pieces before assembling if you don’t have a sprayer
The final product!
