INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure a perlect fit of the front to the case, stack the front and case pieces and hold them together by taping the edges with masking tape or by driving small brads into waste areas.

Place the 1/4"-thick material on top of the stack, then adhere the clock front pattern, found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 2, to the stack with temporary-bond spray adhesive. Cut around the outside line of the pattern, then separate the two pieces. Label the top point of each star.

Using a 1 -3/8"-Dia. Forstner bit, drill the hole where indicated on the clock front pattern and then complete the fretwork. Remove the pattern,

With scissors, cut out the clock case pattern along the outside line and adhere it to the partially cut out case, matching the top points. Cut out the interior, then remove the pattern.

Glue the front to the case, matching the top points as shown in the Assembly View Drawing. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Next, cut out the hanger, then glue this piece to the inside of the case, making sure that it is flush with the rear surface.

Sand the front and sides of the assembly smooth, remove any sawdust, then apply finish of choice.

When dry, install a 1-7/16"-Dia. mini clock insert, then hang your Star Mini Clock wherever you'd like to add a little twinkle of beauty.
