### Install front-left-leg and back-leg onto alu-extrusion

- Begin by inserting a `525mm-m3-t-nut-bar` into a piece of `600mm-alu-extrusion`
- There should be about 51.5mm between the end of the `525mm-m3-t-nut-bar` and the right-side end of the `600mm-alu-extrusion` after installation

- The `525mm-m3-t-nut-bar` needs to be slide aside in later steps, so do not bother to make this perfect right now
