INSTRUCTIONS

Cut a 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 9" piece of ash or whatever you have for the handle. Use pattern to cut handle. Sand and round over edges with 220-grit sandpaper.

Now we're going to cut the cheese! Apply pattern to a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 3/16" piece of satinwood (this is a yellow color, but if you don't have any, clear white wood can be used and painted yellow later). Cut out holes and notches in the "cheese."

Cut a 1/2" x 3/8" x 3" oiece of ash for the mounting block. Cut a 1/8" dowel to 2-5/8"-iong. Cut a 1/2" dowel to l"-long and drill a 1/8" hole about 3/16" deep as shown in pattern.

Take the clothespin apart and drill a 1/8" hole about 3/16" deep in the center of the half as shown in the pattern. Glue 1/8" dowel in clothespin half, and then reassemble clothespin. Glue cheese to front of handle about 1/8" back from front edge and sides (see Fig. 2). Glue quarter to cheese with Liquid Nails For Small Projects: this is the only t'me you'll use this glue for this project (see Fig. 3). Place mounting block under clothespin and 1/2" dowel on end of 1/8" dowel that is glued to clothespin (see Fig. 4) - these two parts are dry fitted. Hold 1/2" dowel centered on quarter and center mounting block and clothespin together to handle. Adjust the hammer by sanding bottom front end of clothespin to lower hammer (see Fig. 5). When hammer
