INSTRUCTIONS

Wood preparation

Number each of the four pieces of wood as follows: light, No. 1; dark, No. 2; medium light, No. 3; medium dark, No. 4. Next, draw two lines on the top Side of piece No. 1, dividing it into equal sections (see Fig. 1); these will serve as alignment guides.

Stack pieces No. 1 and 2, with No. 1 on the top. Secure the stack with several dots of hot glue along the edges of each piece.

Make three photocopies of the pattern, found in the Full Size Pattern Section, and affix one copy to the top of piece No. 1 with temporary-bond adhesive. Line up the horizontal and diagonal lines on the pattern with the lines on the wood.

Using the indicated test area, check the accuracy of the angle by cutting a test circle. Cut the test clockwise and push the back piece of wood into the top piece. If the two woods are not flush, you need to adjust the table angle. !f the test circle inserts too far, increase the table angle; if the circle does not insert far enough, decrease the angle. Retest the angle after adjustment.

Drill blade entry holes where indicated, and saw out the wolves (pattern
