Kitchen accessories are always popular with our readers, and we expect this project will be no exception. Not only does it make it easy to cut up a loaf of French bread, it also does a good job of collecting the crumbs. With a knife groove on each end, it will accomodate both right and left handed gourmets.

Cut parts A and B to the dimensions shown, then assemble with glue and clamps. Clamp with care to insure that the surfaces of all three parts will be flush.

The '/j in. radius is applied to parts B using the table saw in conjunction with a molding-head equipped with a 1 in. flute bit as shown in figure 1. Keep in mind that the full depth of cut cannot be made in one pass. It's best to only remove about '/> in. of material with each pass.

The feet (parts C) can now be made to the dimensions shown. Use a saber saw to cut the 1V* in. radius as shown.

Set the table saw blade to a height of 1 '/b in. then use the miter gauge to cut the 65 degree angles as shown. Final sand all surfaces, then complete the project by securing parts C to part B with flat head wood screws.
