INSTRUCTIONS

Recommended interior areas to be cut first.

Apply Ihe tree swing pattern to the wood. Cut the outside of the pattern. Drill 1/16" blade access holes, and cut the interior holes, the veining cuts of the tree, and the smaller areas around the children. Some areas are too small for a 1/16" drill bit, so use a No. 60 in those spots. Save the larger areas, such as between the frame and the swing rope, to cut last.

Cutting beveled edge of base.

Apply the base pattern to the wood you've chosen Tilt your saw table 20°, and cut the base so the edge bevels outward from the top to the bottom.

Make holes at "X" marks on base.

There are two "X" marks inside the dashed outline on the base pattern. They indicate where to place the tree swing on the base. Use an awl, nail, or small drill bit to make holes at the "X" marks on the base. The holes, which will remain after the base has been finish sanded, will be used to align the tree swing to the base.

Aligning and gluing the tree swing to the base.

Finish sand the tree swing and base. Apply CA glue to the bottom of the tree swing and align it on the base by covering the holes. Apply the finish of your choice.
