Wood: mople or hardwood of choice—one piece 1/4" x 8" wide x 8" tall (for upright), one piece 1/2" x 3" wide x 9" long (for base); Baltic birch plywood— one piece 1 /8" x 8" x 8" (for backboard) Tools: scroll saw with No. 2/0 or No. 2 reverse-tooth blades and No. 5 blade; drill with 1/16" bit and optional Forstner bit; router with 1 /4" roundover bit Temporary-bond spray adhesive Sandpaper, medium- and fine-grit Clear packaging tape White craft glue

Spray paint in black or color of choice Polyurethane spray in satin finish or finish of choice Mini-clock insert requiring 1 -3/8"-diameter opening

Please refer to all manufacturer's labels for proper product usage.

through both thicknesses of wood, cut along the perimeter of the pattern. This will ensure that the backboard exactly matches the border of the scrolled piece.

Step 4. Separate the two pieces, and remove all tape. Apply three coats of satin-finish spray polyurethane to the

upright using short, even strokes. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next, and lightly sand the surface between applications.

Step 5. Spray paint the edges and both sides of the backboard. When dry, apply white craft glue to the back of the upright, and position it on top of the backboard, aligning all edges. Place a weight on top of the assembly until the glue is dry.

Step 6. Rout the edges of the base using a 1/4" roundover bit. Sand the base smooth, and apply several coats of clear finish to it. When dry, center the upright on the base, and glue in place. (If desired, the upright can be screwed to the base, instead. Simply position the upright on the base, and use a pencil to mark two reference drill points on the base and on the bottom of the upright. Drill 1/16"-diameter holes at the marks on the base, drilling all the way through the piece. Countersink the holes on the bottom of the base 1/4". Drill the corresponding holes in the upright, position it on the base, and insert l/2"-long wood screws up through the base to secure the pieces.)
