<[log in to unmask]> wrote about a Robber Screen.
I was much interested in the description, because with this long dry
spell we're having a lot of robbing.
Forgive my density, but I'm having trouble understanding how to build a
Robber Screen. Would you mind giving me a little help?
You say:

I think I have a clear picture so far: at this point we have a
rectangular frame, about 14 x 3, made of 3/4 x 3/4 stock, but made of
only three pieces leaving one long side open. On top of this frame (on
the bottom too?) is stapled a strip of screening, extending only to a
line 3/4 inch from the the open long side of the frame. Right? But I'm
not clear on what comes next:
> Next nail a piece of 1" x 2" on the screen side to finish the box.
This is where I start getting lost. I can't picture where to put this
piece of 1 x 2.
>The 1"x 2" should have an opening 1" x 3/8" cut in the bottom and at one

Does this cut go across a 1-inch edge of the 1x2? Or across the 2-inch
side of the 1x2?
Thanks.
