INSTRUCTIONS

Make the captured frame

Saw the 3/4"-thick stock to the dimensions indicated in the Supplies list. With the Roman ogee bit, rout a decorative profile around the outside edge of the plaque, if desired. Transfer the frame pattern from Full Size Pattern Section No. 1 and drill 1/16'' pilot holes where indicated- Next, cut out the interior waste area of the plaque.

Tilt your saw table to 4 degrees and cut around the outer line of the captured frame. If your table tilts to the left, start cutting in a counterclockwise direction; if it tilts to the right, cut in a clockwise direction. Use a No. 7 blade to cut the interior ring.

Once cut, push the interior ring from the back side of the piaque until it locks in place. Apply a little glue to the back side of the opening in the plaque and to the interior ring to secure it in place. Finish as desired.

Cut the pattern pieces

Transfer the pattern pieces, also found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 1, and cut them to shape using a No. 2/0 blade and cutting in a clockwise direction.

Next, cut out the spacers and size the backer board. Stack and glue the spacers to the appropriate pieces as indicated in the Full Size Patterns.

You can use the AirPainter to easily basecoat the pattern pieces—this will save you time and could prevent you from breaking the fragile pieces. Use three parts water to one part paint. If you do not have an AirPainter, basecoat the pieces using the 3/4" wash brush.

For the land pieces (Nos. 1 and 2), basecoat each
