Part 0 – Part list

I’ve decided to go as cheap as possible, so I ordered some parts from eBay and bought some things on sale. I will keep the list in the Google Sheet and update it accordingly. 🙂

Please note, I am from the Czech Republic, so I will refer sometimes to Czech stores (OBI etc.), you can definitely find similar parts in local shops in your country. Also very small parts like nuts or washers.

Part 1 – The Beginning!

First of all, I split bigger plywood into two parts – 26×45 cm and 26×26 cm square. And I drilled 4x 8mm holes in the corners. The bigger is the base and the smaller will hold the pipe.
