Before cutting, you need to run the test of wood. You can just follow the example(figure), but you have to ask the meaning of "Adjust Focus" for cutting wood to manager.

\\
 **Step 3 : Stain the frame**

Stain the frame with 'Wood finish stain' because your hands are stained with ash.

\\
**Step 4 : Staple the mesh on the frame**
