Definitions:
Any needed definitions
Procedure:
- Look up the invoice numbers from the wood paperwork. If they belong to All Purpose, they do not need a cradle, so cross it out.
- For all PDs, cut a 2” X 6” X CUT SIZE LENGHT as listed on the paperwork.
- Each cradle will need 2 pieces of 2” X 6” X 47” for the sides.
- Cut 4 pieces of 1” X 6” X 24” at opposite 45-degree angles to attach to corners.
- Attach handles to each 47” piece using 8 X 3/4" Pan Head wood screws. (20” from bottom)
- Attach the 47” pieces to the ends of the piece from step 2 using 4 nails from the nail gun.
- Use the nail gun to attach the 1” X 6” X 24" pieces to one side of each bottom corner.
- Attach a 1” X 4” X 8’ to the same side at the top of each side piece using 6 X 1 1/2" Gold wood screws at each side.
- Use a couple of 6 X 1 1/2" Gold screws to connect the 2” X 1” X 4” s in the middle.
- Label the cradle with the size and invoice.
- When we finalize a door over 120” that requires a cradle, the catcher on the line will obtain the corresponding cradle.
- He will get help from a beader to put the door into the cradle.
- Attach corresponding 1” X 4” s and 1” X 6” s to the open side of the cradle using 6 X 1 1/2" Gold wood screws.
- The catcher and beader will each move one end of the cradle and slide it into the rack across the aisle.
