dry. Dry fit the bracket ends (E). Make adjustments as needed. Glue into place, and let dry. Install the liner panels. Make adjustments as needed to make the panels fit perfectly inside the box, flush with top edge. Glue in place. Clamp together until dry. Make the music box cover. Start by gluing the side pieces together, with the glue block positioned in the corner, flush with the top edges. Use a mitre clamp, carpenter's square, or homemade jig to hold these parts in correal posilion until glue dries. Then glue the top panel to the top edges [see Fig. 1). Attach the musical movement to the mounting board [see Fig. 2). Depress the wire stop to contact the flywheel, stopping the movement. Using the edge of the mounting board as a guide, trim off the end of the wire stop with wire cutters and bend the end as shown. Next, set the movement, on it's mounting board, inside the box. Check that the wire stop does not touch the liner as you move it down; adjust if needed. Install the mounting screws. Attach two support blocks to the inside of the box liner to hold the cover for the musical movement [see Fig. 3). These measurements locate the blocks in areas that will allow access to the screws in the mounting board when the cover is removed, and are at a height that should be exactly correct for the cover to rest perfectly on the bottom of the box. Double check all of these measurements with your completed cover, etc. Adjust as needed. Glue and clamp in position until dry. Install the music box cover. Locate and drill pilot holes into the support blocks. Attach the cover with two No. 0 x 3/8" screws. Insert the shut-off block into the slot in the cover. It should slide freely up and down in the slot and rest securely on the wire stop. Check operation. Make aOjustments as needed. The lid uses two guides attached to its underside to direct its placement upon the box. You will want to take your time cutting the guides to the correct length and installing them at the right distance apart. Start by measuring the inside of your completed box. Cut the guides to correct length which allows them to slip inside the box freely, with very little play or extra space. Measure and mark locations for the guides on the underside of the lid. Start by locating Meet the ARROW T50s. It's the solid steel stapler that defines reliability. Compression spring action drives 6 different size staples - 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 17/32" (Ceiltile), and 9/16" - into hard woods, composition board, plastics - and even soft metals! It may not last as long as Stonehenge... but the durability of all steel construction, hardened high carbon steel working parts, comfortable easy squeeze double leverage operation and its patented jamproof mechanism... make the T50s the staple gun you can rely on for years to come. Available at home centers, lumberyards, and fine hardware stores wherever professional tools are sold! Arrow Fastener Co., inc... . 271 Waybill Sl;e.e;,.S-j'.!c:|e Brock.

You will need this point to drill a hole for a No. 6 x 3/4" screw to attach the handle for the lid. From the centerpoint reference, transfer your box measurements to the lid, and make light pencil lines to locate your guides. Attach the guides to the lid with four No. 4 x 5/8" wood screws. Test fit. If necessary, you can ream out the holes in the guides to allow you to move them to achieve the best fit. Glue the handle, decorative trim parts, and angel overlays to the top of the lid. Install a wood screw into the handle to secure it for regular usage. Test the fit of the lid on the box to ensure that the shut off block works perfectly to control the musical movement. If if doesn't, you may need to adjust the dimensions of the block, or bend the wire stop just a bit. Don't forget to glue the crosses into position in the openings in the front and back panels. Next, remove the musical movement. Then apply finish to all of the wooded parts as desired. We used Watco Natural Danish Oil finish. When dry, put it all back together again... and go "wow" somebody with your completed project! ka Creative Woodwo-ks & Crafts June 2003 • 33 |
