Hi!
Just finished cutting the end caps. Each cap will be 2 layers of 3/4 INCH MDF that will be placed internally and then capped off with a layer of 3/4 " pine board.
I have glued the 2 internal layers together. I have not glued the pine board caps on to them yet.
So my questions: do I need the internal bracing (2x2s) with 3 layers on each end? The caps will be fitting very tight and I will be screwing them into the sonotube with about 12-20 dry wall screws.
Second question: how to I attach the braces? No idea on this one. I want to have a nicely finished pine cap on each end and dont want to drill through it to attach the 2x2s. It would be greatly preferable for me to attach the pine boards to the MDF caps before inserting them into the tubes.
HELP!! I really want to get this project licked today
thanks
Gregg
