M 4PM SELF-BUILD

M INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you! You are reading this, that means you might be
considering a 4PM Self Build. I’m very grateful for that –
I hope you will enjoy constructing yours as much as I did mine.
You can’t beat the satisfaction of making something with your
own hands, especially when you are guaranteed to end up
with a super designer luxury chaise to lounge in.
Measure and cut carefully
and you will have a piece
you can enjoy for years
to come. These plans
are only the start of
the project, please go
ahead and customise
your build in anyway
you like. I would love
to see the results if
you care to share
them. Yours truly,
Chris Martin

 Note about drilling holes;
Drill a 5mm Ø clearance hole
through the part you are joining
to the substrate. Drill a 2mm Ø
pilot hole in the substrate. This
Clearance Hole
5mm Ø will ensure the parts close up
against each other nicely and
Pilot Hole the wood will not split.

2. Glue & screw the 390mm batten from above into

the 1040mm battens from above, directly behind
the side panels as shown.
