INSTRUCTIONS

This method of inlcy allows you to cut three frames at once as the cut pieces are interchangeable and each frame is different.

Stack the three pieces of contrasting wood. Put beads of hoi glue down the edges to hold them together. Using the spray adhesive, put the pattern on the stacked wood. Drill at the where indicated. Make sure to drill straight. Cut, making sure the last cut is around the outside of the frame. It is important that you cut square! Cut the 1/16" plywood into two pieces, the first the size of the frame with the window cut out and the second into c 4-1 /2" x 5-1 /2" recta ng le.

Interchange the woods fo yield three frames. Use the numbers on the puzzle pattern for wood placement. Glue the frame to the 1/16" backing. This method of inlay allows for slight gaps in the fit. Fill these gaps with a "grout" made by mixing wood glue and saw dust. Wipe off the excess with a damp rag. Sand the back and the face of each frame. A slight rounding to the fcce gives the frame c finished look. Spray with clear finish.

Using the turnbuttons, put the 4-1/2" x 5-1/2" rectangle on the frame back, covering the window. Screw the turnbuttons into the back of Ihe frame, one just above and below the back covering. The turnbuttons will then twist over the back cover, holding it in place. You may need to bend the turnbuttons for a tight fit.usj
