Here we see
the 1/4" x 20 x 4" long bolts as they are partially inserted into the predrilled
holes of the wedge shaped cleats. Once pushed all of the way through the
Base Platform, the base Truss Arms will be aligned with the protruding
bolts over the top of the Base Platform and slowly dropped in place. The bolts will
then be screwed into the inserted dowel-nuts of the Truss Arms. After tightening these bolts, the holding power of
the union between the Base Platform and Truss Arms will be quite strong. To
further help the joint between these major components, woodscrews will be
installed from the bottom of Base Platform and into the Truss Arms along
its length.
