Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
Determine the desired size of your finished screen first. Here, we used standard 8' lengths of furring strips for the long sides: the top and bottom of the frame and cut two pieces of 6' furring strip for the sides using a Saw-Max fitted with a SM500 Wood and Plastic Blade.
Step 2
Secure all pieces of your frame together by joining the sides using thin wood screws. Use your Dremel Rotary Tool and a 150 1/8" Drill Bit to drill pilot holes before screwing together so as not to splinter the wood. Tip: When drilling pilot holes using your Dremel Rotary tool, set your tool to a higher speed for harder materials and at a lower speed for softer materials. For this project we are using pine furring strip which is a softer material. Set your Variable Speed Dremel Rotary Tool to 15,000 RPMs for this project. If you are not sure which speed setting to use to achieve 15,000 RPMs, refer to your tool user manual or check the 'Product Support' tab for your specific tool at Dremel.com.
