You can see in the plans, the sizes for the lines, and the drawing part.

I draw the Two parts in the same wood plank.

After Drawing, you need to use a Jigsaw to cut the two parts.

You need to cut 3 Wood battens at the right size ( 210 mm )

After your cuts, you need to assemble the 5 parts like in the picture, with screw and a screw driver.

After the assembly, i used a special shade oil for my wood.
