gporter, i built mine in like an hour the night before we put it in the lake. just make sure you countersink the screws!

gporter, it's a tool you use to make a little groove around the hole so that the screw sits flush... This is a countersunk washer.

I don't think you'll need to worry about that though.

You drill a hole big enough and deep enough to submerge the head of the screw below the surface of the rail, so your board dosent hang up on exposed screw heads. Your c0ck will thank you!

I'll help you build it, if we can test it out at the end of my street. Smile

I live 2 minutes away from uidzero and taku.
