A parting look at the main posts with half-lapped horizontal 4x4's for the door opening and roof framing. The diagonals were half-lapped onto the roof frame (see KC - 20) and lag screwed into the main posts.

KC - 20 Finishing the Job

The center post was installed and the frames installed -- clearance was less that 1/8" and they actually fit! Because of some minor warping in the PT wood, I used construction shims to insure the frames stayed square as they were locked in with 3'' deck screws.

KC - 16 Starting the Installation

The first step to install the kiosks was to dig the holes (2-man auger), drop the 6x6 posts into the two holes and clamp the two horizontal half-lapped beams in place to form the Bulletin Board openings -- the diagonal bracing insured these opening were square and braces to ground maintained...

KC - 11 Finishing the Hinge Mortise

Note the Edge guide is utside the frame and 1/4'' bit is inside -- this means a hard-to-control ''climb cut'' for that last inch or so. Obviously, I'd have been better off cutting these mortises before the frames were assembled, but I pulled it off with only one minor slip that cut into the...
