Next, I glued one sheet of the wooden panel to the wooden frame and compressed it with some weights. I let it set for a few hours then stapled gunned it together. I then added some weight to compress it again and let the glue settle for around 24 hours before moving anything.

Next, I picked up some RockWool soundproofing insulation material, cut it to size and filled the wall cavity. (best to do this outside, wear a mask, goggles and keep your skin covered) 😷
I then glued the frame and sealed it shut with another thin wooden panel (😋 LIKE A TASTY SANDWICH 😋).🤣
Right after gluing it shut, I staple gunned it, then added weight to compress it slightly.
Then waited around 24 hours for the glue to dry and spent another few hours sanding down the edges so everything is nice and straight.
Now I have x2 long walls done, x2 short walls done which can form a large rectangle box ✅

I forgot to make the external vent frames for the long walls and realised the next day. 😅
The following day, I made the frames. Without this, we would have insulation material flying out and we don't want that! 😷
I cut these frames out with a handheld jigsaw machine which was quick to do.
After the frames down were stuck down, I filled the wall cavity with soundproofing material and sealed it with the other sheet of wood (like a sandwich).
You are now safe from the insulation fibres flying out of the wall. 😄

Now the two short walls are done and the two long walls are done. ✅
I sanded down all four sides of each wall so they were nice and smooth.
I then joined the four walls together temporarily with a staple gun and some tape so that they were lined up and ready for more permanent joining methods.
I drilled a hole through each of the four joints of the structure so I could join it all together with a long screw (two screws for each joint). Now that the screws are in place, I removed the tape and staples. Next, I undone the screws slightly so I could slip in some glue in all four of the joints and then re-tightened the screws so all four walls would be permanently stuck together.
It took some time to get this right to ensure a perfect or near perfect rectangle is made and everything is level. 💪

Next up was to make a strong base to support the weight of the miner and the structure that sits above.
I cut 3 long pieces of wood for the length, 2 pieces for the outer width, and 4 smaller pieces for the inner bit. I kept Fvking up the sizes so I spent a silly amount of time to sand everything down to the right size so it fits together properly. 😠💢
Now that the wood pieces are the right size, I shaped the outer portion first, glued and stapled it together, Then worked on the middle pieces of wood and did the same. I waiting a few hours for the glue to dry up enough so I could start drilling some holes through each joint. 10 screws around the edges and then 4 screws in the middle pieces. I had to drill diagonally for the middle pieces which was tricky. I put some glue on the screws here and fitted them in, you know, so it's extra secure. 😆
Then I glued the frame to a sheet of wood, waited a few hours for to dry then filled the cavity with soundproofing material (Rockwool). Soon after, I put some glue on frame and then sealed it off with another large sheet of wood.
✅ Base structure, DONE ✅ 😌
