The team started build day two to undertake the creation of the frame. Because the tubes were cut, we needed a housing so they could be properly played. The housing needed to be rigid enough to hold the pipes, but not interfere with the sound generation through the pipes. So, the group decided to use glue and some pressure to make the frame. No nails were driven though the pipes (which would have probably split them). Pictures of this can be see below:

Screws were used to secure the pieces of wood together. However these did not interfere with the pipes.
Mike Securing the pieces of pop within the wooded frame. The device took a pan flute like appearance as it was assembled. This allowed for a step like arrangement of the pipes, allowing for easier playing.

The pan-flute shape can be seen more easily here.
