Well, I cut all my 1x2's to the correct length, sanded them all down and
the plywood too, and then went to put them together. Doh!
Who would have guessed that a 1x2 was not really a 1x2? It's actually
only 0.75x1.5!?!? This might not come as a surprise to those who have
constructed something out of wood before, but it shocked me.
Now nothing lines up! Everything is cut to the wrong length. Aaugh!!!
Anyways, I can live with the fact that I'll have gaps everywhere, but my
question is, will the module be the correct height?
Are everyone's modules going to be 3/4+1&1/2+3/8" high? If not, then
I'm in big trouble.
Calum? Anyone? Is everyone in the same boat, or am I going to have to
start all over?
