Oh, I forgot about all the mounting holes. I layed the planks in the bed of the truck and marked each hole. I drilled them with a drill press. As for the recessed holes I used a forster bit. I had this bit from recessing hinges in cabinet doors. All the nuts and bolts were purchased at the local hardware store. I support local small business' as much as possible.
I worked out of my garage.
Thanks and again - best of luck.
