HOW TO CUT YOUR PATTERN

Don't let a complex pattern discourage you. Most of
these cuts only need a steady hand anda litle pa

‘Examine each pattern before you make any cuts.
{Use a smaller blade to cut curves and comers if there
is no way to change the position of your saw and no
waste stock (extra wood around the pattem) to cut
into.

Break complicated cuts into simples curves and
lines. Don't be afraid to move your saw to a different
position on the wood and approach the line from a dir
Ferent angle.

lines intersect, cut the first line and keep going past the
‘comer. Cut a loop around in the waste stock and cut

waste and tum the piece, then continue cutting from.
the edge to the second line,

‘When cutting sharp interior comers, you can cut the
first line up tothe corner, then back te blade out of
the wood and cut the second line, Another method is
Lo eut the fist line up 1 the comer and back up a few
lade widths. Tum into the waste area, leaving the first
line, and get into position to cut the second. Cut the
second lin and take off the waste. Then go back and
‘cut the last part of the second line upto the comer.

“Today, with the new constant-tension scroll saws,
you can quickly change direction, make rightangle
{ums or complete a 360" tum without making extra
‘els or breaking a blade, Often the cuts are so smooth

jest,

‘When cutting small pieces or very hin veneers, tape
your wood to heavy poster board or smooth cardboard.
Ifthe pieces are very thin, you can sandwich the wood
between the two pieces of poster board. This will pre»
vent the pieces from breaking or getting lost.

Tes also helpful o cut more than one thin piece ata

well-lit Use long, narrow folding
tables to exhibit your wares. They take up less oo
than square card tables. Rent or borrow such tables
before you purchase them, These tables are difficult 0
transport and you may decide to stop selling wood
ras quicker than you had planned.

‚Cover your tables with long cloths: Store extra items
underneath. Don't use able coverings that clash with

Jour products.

“Take plenty of inventory. Use boxes or crates to dis»
play your items at various heights. This will make your

Cutting the Parts
Note: Some of the parts that are cut from pine will be
‘wider than the stock you purchased, even if you purchased,
Ÿ x 12. To create à part that is wider than your stock, first
eut two narrower boards 10 the specified length. Place
them edge-to-edge, measure across them and trim one or
both boards so that the total width is equal to the specified
‘width of the part, To edge-join the two boars, you can
simply glue and clamp them together, but a spline joint
‘will be mich stronger and will help prevent warpage and
separation, To cut the dadoes fora spline joint, you can use
‘router with a 1/4 inch straight bit, ora able saw with a
ddado blade. When you have glued and assembled the joint,
‘lamp it until the glue is completely dey.
1. Cut from 3/4” pine the parts listed inthis step. Label
ach one for reference during assembly. For the
‘Cabinet sides, refe 0 the cutting diagram provided in

Figure A. For the Cabinet Trim, use the full-size pat-
tem provided on page 39. For any part that is wider
than the stock you purchased, spline two narrower
boards together to achieve the width. In the parts list
that follows, wk is always listed a the first dimen-
sion for each part.

Step 1 will serve as the frame members. The Rails and
‘Siles are modified as shown in Figure D. Note that all
ados are 1/47 wide by 3/8" deep. For the Top Rail, cut
2-34 long blind dado along the center of each end, as
‘Shown for the visible end in Figure D. In addition, cut a
through dado along the center of one long edge. Cut iden-
tical dadoes into the bottom Rail, as shown. For each,
Stile, cut a 23-5/8" long blind dado along the center of
one long edge — it should be stopped 1/2* short of the

Assembling the Cabinet

1. A diagram showing the frame-and panel assembly that
forms the back wall is provided in Figure E For this
sssembly, you'll need 10 cut four splines for the frame
joints; each spline should be 114° x 3/4" x 2-34”. The
Splines are used in the Rail-o-Stle joints, as shown, and
the pegboard Panel fits into the dadoes along the Inner
edges ofthe frame pieces. Assemble the cabinet back as
‘Shown; there's no need to glu the Panel into the frame,
but the splined frame joints should be glued. Clamp the
assembly while the plue dries.

2, Bevel the upper end of the assembled back wall at a
23-degree angle.

3. To create the front cabinet wall, glue together the Cabinet

‘and the splined Tim as shown in

Figure G, Clamp while the glue des.

4, An assembly diagram for the cabinet is provided in
Figure H. Note the following things: (a) the front wall
covets the front edges of the two Sides, but the Sides
over the edges of the back wall; (b) the front and back
Walls are turned so that the beveled upper edges match
the angled upper edges ofthe Sides; and (e) all parts are

41. ash tthe bottom. It may be necessary to rim
some ofthe upper edges slighty to get a good
‘match between the pas. Give together the parts
as shown, and secure using fishing nal.

{sulting the incerlocking joints ofthe base section

We have divided the instructions into three main sec-
tions: (1) building the base, (2) building the swing, and
(6) finishing and final assembly. For joints secured
with screws, countersink the serews and cover the
heads with plugs eut From matching stock, Recess all
ral and cover with wood filler.

The Base
The base section is shown fully assembled in Figure L
consists of two mirror image end sections, which ane
connected by three long braces. The pegged morüse-
and-enon joints allow you to disassembie the base for
Storage or transpor. If you do not feel confident

cut the braces shorter than specified,
‘tach them o the end sections using

Cutting the Parts

Y. Dimensions for the base parts are listed in this
step. For the E, F, G1, and Ks, use the paliers
provided. All pars are cut from pine 1° x 4° oF

1 longest ones (the H and L braces),
and work your way down fo the smallest ones, so
you'll be sure to get the mast out of your wood
