	Using a cardboard template trace out interior weight sustaining profile. Notch-out using a simple handsaw or jigsaw the base and capital tops / bottoms to accommodate wrapping around the weight sustaining element.
	Install base and capital halves by applying adhesive to mounting surfaces and cross nailing halves together around weight sustaining profile and allow adhesive to set.
	Take column dimension and cut to size column halves.
	Apply adhesive to all vertical mounting surfaces and cross nailing into opposite column halves to secure while adhesive cures.
	Install between base and capital by applying adhesive on mounting surfaces and cross nailing.

Free Standing Full Column

	Create a square wooden mounting box, typically using 2” x 4” planks. Affix to the floor surface with mechanical fasteners.
	Install base by applying adhesive to mounting surfaces and cross nailing into wooden box.
	Measure and cut column halves as appropriate. Be sure to add the height of the installed base and attached capital.
	Apply adhesive to all vertical mounting surfaces and cross nailing into opposite column halves to secure while adhesive cures.
	When applicable, stack column segments by applying adhesive to all horizontal / vertical mounting surfaces and cross nailing into bottom / opposite column halves to secure while adhesive cures.
	Attach capital by laying assembled column on its side and nailing and / or screwing through the capital into the column walls.
	Upright assembled column and attach to base and cross nail to secure into base and ceiling.
