The Basics of The False Bottom

[DigitalPunk]

Here is how I cut the egg crate to length.

After you measure and mark your lines (covered in Bill's post above). You will need to cut them. I use a pair of side cutters for this. It is a pain to cut the lines straight with these as they are slightly angled so I do it this way.

I cut away from the line I want left. Like in the below picture.



This all leave an edge similar to the below picture (important to note the pic above and the one below are not the same piece).



I then break off the little legs left over with my finger like this.



That is all there is to it. Super easy and almost not mind numbing

Thanks guys I'll give this a try. All this will be going on my 'frog shelf' a cabinet built for them. So will this piping have special requirements that I need to cut space out in the side or back?
