INSTRUCTIONS Step 1. Photocopy the patterns, saving the originals for future use. Sand all the work pieces on both sides. Using carbon paper, transfer the patterns to the appropriate pieces of wood. Also transfer the markings for the locations of the drill holes. (Note that the three holes for the pegs are optional.) Step 2. Cut out the two side pieces and the center support piece. To cut the blade, I found that it was much easier to first cut all of the left sides of the teeth, then all of the right sides. Once you position the wood at the proper angle, the cutting goes much faster than the back-and-forth method. (As far as I'm concerned, anything that can make this cut go faster is good because I find it boring!) Step 3. Using a router and a 3/8" roundover bit, round the sides and center support pieces. Do NOT round the edges in between the points marked by "X"s on the patterns; they should be left flat. These are the sections where the blade meets the sides, and the sides meet the center support. Also, do not round over any of the back edges of the pieces. (If you don't have access to a router, you can round over the pieces using a moto tool or by hand.) Sand all pieces. continued on page 20 Creative Woodworks & Crafts April 2009 • 19 |
