Once the beams were made level and secure to the foundations at either end we had go about scribing lines across the top sides of the beams. These lines would assist in positioning the noggins and the balustrades. The engineer's drawings didn't seem to work out so we divided the length of the outside beams by the number of balustrades. From these points we were able to scribe across the tops of the beams, using a chalk line and a scratching awl.
The noggins were then measured to fit into their designated positions by placing the noggin blank across the two beams and scribing the face of each beam onto the end of the noggin. They were then cut and adjusted until they fit their slot.
