Flatssss

The flats for our sets consisted of two 8 foot long planks of wood, along with four shorter 1/2/4 foot planks to go along the width. Screws were drilled into the joins to attach the frame all together. After this rectangle structure was secured together, the skin was then taken and carefully glued along the planks. Next you needed to put the skin over the frame and using either a nail gun or nails and a hammer, nail the skin to the frame in spaces of about 6 inches to make sure it is fully secure. some of the flats needed routing because some of the skins overhanged the frames. this would have made it difficult during construction so we had to ensure everything was even so that it would fit together nicely. I used the nail gun after being scared of it for quite a while and completed a fair few flats for our set. Here are some photos of the flats during construction:
