Tools I used

Generic shop tools. Use what you’ve got. Links go to Amazon.com (US) as a placeholder — tag not live yet.

Shop

Table saw Required

No table saw? A circular saw with a rip guide will get you those strips. Go slow.

Shop

Miter saw Required

No miter saw? Hand saw and a square. Mark twice, cut once.

Shop

Drill Required

You need this for the pivot, even if you nail the crossbars. Pre-drill so the strips don’t split.

Shop

Tape measure Required

Whatever tape is in the drawer is fine.

Shop

Square Required

Speed square or combination square. Use it as a straight-edge across all four longs when you mark the bars.

Shop

Brad nailer Optional

No nail gun? Pre-drill and use extra outdoor screws. Same hold, a little slower. Don’t let go of the spring either way.

Shop

Sandpaper Optional

Knock off the splinters if you’re handing this to someone else. 120-grit is plenty.
