GUARDIAN ANGEL FRAME

can be carefully cut with a scroll saw by following the pattern cutting line, sawing directly on the line, attempting to cut right down the middle of the line. If you prefer to bore the hole with a 1-3/8"-Dia. Forstner bit, or the sawn hole fits too loosely, the rubber gasket can be used to securely mount the clock insert.

Transfer the patterns to the selected stock with spray adhesive. Bore blade entry holes in the waste areas and saw out the pieces. Make the interior cuts first, then saw around the perimeter. Sand as needed.

INSTRUCTIONS

This project has been specially designed to hold a 1-7/16"-Dia. clock insert which is supplied with a rubber gasket to hold it snugly inside a 1-3/8"-Dia. hole. To eliminate the need for this gasket, I have drawn the pattern with a 34mm-Dia. mounting hole. The clock insert can thus be installed "friction-fit," without the gasket, within this mounting hole. This hole

Assembly

Attach the rear support leg to the back panel with two No. 0 x 3/8" wood screws. Next, attach the panel to the back of the frame where indicated on the pattern with the remaining three screws. Glue the overlay to the front of the frame, checking for proper alignment and fit for the clock insert. Apply finish and allow to dry. Insert a photo of your loved ones and a guardian angel (clock insert) to watch over them, jft
