Day 1 Trim out all the pieces and clean up as necessary. I like to use a belt sander to file most of the items down. I purchased one for around $40.00 at Harbor Freight. I got one that can by turned upside down to sand down the parts easier. For the tight areas I use a dremil and for the straight lines I use a metal ruler and utility knife. I also use a file to get those nice round corners. This is just a quick trim, we will do the final cleanup as we move onto each individual piece. I spent about 3 to 4 hours on this step.

It’s is extremely important to use a pair of work gloves. They can be purchased at Wal Mart for around $10.00. I nearly cut the tip of my finger off because I was not wearing my gloves. I could have saved all that pain by just taking a few more seconds to grab and put them on.
