5 Paint the large board and allow it to dry. Then, insert the
steel loop. On the large board, the loop should be 1-1/2 inches
from the rear edge and 4-3/4 inches from the right edge. Use
pilot holes to keep the steel loops from splitting the boards.
Use screws to secure the rectangular end of the T-hinge on
the big board with the hinge facing up, the back 8-1/4 inches
from the back edge of the board, and the right 1-7/8 inches
from the right edge of the board.
6 Paint the 2 × 6 board and allow it to dry. Insert the steel
loop centered and 1-1/2-inch from the top edge and install
mounting hardware for the motor as necessary to position the
shaft 13-3/4 inches from the bottom and facing left.
7 Connect the 2 × 6 board to the large board using the
T-hinge such that the right edge of the 2 × 6 board is 1-1/4
inches from the right edge of the large board, and then mount
the motor to the 2 × 6 board.
