The price is $16.75 plus S&H for walnut, and $12.95 plus S& H for oak. NY residents please add sales tax. Make the uprights To save sawing time, stack the two pieces of 7-3/4" x 18" wood and saw the uprights simultaneously. Use temporary-bond spray adhesive to affix a copy of the ; upright pattern (found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 2) to one of the pieces. : . Fasten both pieces of wood together either with small nails, brads or staples driven through waste areas; or by wraping masking tape tightly around the edges of the wood pieces (basically any method can be used that prevents the pieces from shifting . during sawing). While the upright pieces are fastened together, predrill pilot holes for the wood screws to attach the shelves and back piece. The locations are indicated on the pattern. Use an awl to mark the center point as a guide for the drill bit. Countersink the holes so that the screw heads will be flush with the surface of the wood. Remember that there is a right and left upright, so don't countersink the same side of both pieces. Drill blade entry holes in the waste areas of the pattern. When sawing the lines on the underbellies of the dragons, cut in the direction of the contours and curves. On the middle dragon, for example, start by the head arid work your way down. Use the same technique for the bottom dragon. When cutting the top dragon, start at the foot and work your way up to the head. After sawing, ; touch up with needle files or sandpaper. Ill Make the shelves Cut a bottom shelf, top shelf, and the back piece as indicated in the Supplies list. Using the holes in the upright pieces as a guide, mark locations for the screws on the ends of the shelves and back piece. Drill pilot holes where marked. Test fit all the pieces, then take apart and apply: iglue to the joints as you reassemble with screws.
