INSTRUCTIONS

Adhere the patterns, found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 2, to the 1/2" stock. Bore the 3-1/8"-Dia. hole to receive the clock movement and drill blade entry holes for the interior cuts, then saw the pieces to shape. Remove the pattern, then sand as needed.

Glue and clamp the back piece to the upper surface of the shelf, as shown in Fig. 1, to make the back/shelf assembly. Referring to Fig. 2, attach the braces to either end of the stretcher to form the stretcher/brace assembly. Once the glue has set on both assemblies, center the stretcher/brace assembly flush with the back edge on the underside of the back/shelf assembly. Glue and clamp in place.

When the glue has set, sand as necessary, then apply finish of choice. When the finish has dried, insert the clock movement and your shelf is ready to make any room a little more rosy!
