SCREEN SPLINE

Yesterday we worked inside where it was warmer.  Today will be much the same.



Owen enjoyed all the activity from behind the barricade. He loves the noise all the different drills and pneumatic guns make as we worked putting the frames together.





The frames went together very easily. Each corner has two stainless steel nails and a screw, each cross piece the same.



Next we rolled the screen out over the frame and used this tool to force the screen and rubber spline into the groove.




If you click on the pictures above you will get a better view of how the spline is forced into the groove to keep the screen taunt on the frame.

Thanks for stopping by. Today we build the screen doors.
