Aligning the posts to the base. Posts cut and removed from waste material. Cut olong the dashed line on side B to complete, and remove the posts from fhe waste material. Apply the heart and arrow pattern to the wood. Cut out the clock inser' hole and along the pattern lines. {Be sure to cut along the two lines on the arrow shaft, dividing the arrow into three sections: the pointed end; the heart center; and the tail end.) Set fhe base in front of you so the side with the alignment holes is facing you. Tesl fil I he assembled posls and heart piece on the base. Lean the posts toward you and get the feel of sliding and aligning the posts so their front inside comers just cover the alignment holes. Cut the base. Apply the pattern for fhe base to the wood. Tilt the saw table 20°, and cut the base so the edge tapers outward from top to bottom. The dashed boxes inside the base pattern indicate the placement of the posts onto fhe base. Using a No. 60 drill bit, drill holes at the two small black dots in fhe corners. The holes will be used to align the posts to the base. Remove the patterns, and finish sand the pieces. Test fit fhe posts on the center heart portion of fhe arrow so the fop of fhe heart leans backward. Don't force fhe pieces together. If they're too snug, lightly sand the arrow shaft until the posts fit freely. Once all the pieces are properly aligned, apply CA glue to the bottom of both posts. Re-align fhe posts to the alignment holes, tilt them back onto the base, and hold them in place until the glue sets. Center the heart piece within the posts. Apply CA glue to the end of the shaft on the pointed arrowhead piece, and insert it into the post until it contacts the shaft on the heart piece. (Be careful not to let the heart piece move off center.) Repeat for the shaft on fhe tail end of the arrow. Let dry and apply the finish of your choice. Insert fhe clock insert.
