(508) 295-0058. Order their part number "CT-2." countersunk and filled. Due to the wood movement problems mentioned earlier, you won't want to use glue here. We used finishing nails because they hold the molding securely, yet tend to flex a little, allowing the necessary movement. The spacers (D> and supports (E) can now be cut to size. Dry fit the parts on the base to establish the various lengths, then glue the supports to the spacers. Next, use I'A in. long by no. 8 wood screws lo secure the spacer/support subassemblies to the inside of the base as shown. Make the screw shank holes a little oversized to accommodate movement of the sides and front. Make the Waist Begin work on the waist by cutting the bottom rail (G), top rail (H) and two stiles (I) to size. At this point in the construction, you'll want to take the measurements directly from the base. Ideally, when the waist is assembled to the base, it should fit snugly just inside the base spacers. Once the stiles are joined to the raits, it will become very difficult to drill the screw holes for the hinges, so it's best to do that work now. The hinges that are supplied in the kit (see Sources) require March/April 1993 a mortise only on the stile, not on the door. The stiles are simply edge-glued to the bottom and top rails. Since these are long-grain to long-grain joints, there is plenty of glue strength. Before clamping, though, check to make sure the distance between the rails is 2I3/s in., the length of the door opening. Once the rails and stiles are assembled, cut the 3 A in, wide by 'A in. deep rabbet on the outside edge of the stiles. After that, cut the two waist sides (J) to size and cut the 3/» in. wide by 'A in. deep rabbet along ihe back edges for the back. Sand all the waist parts, then assemble the sides to the stile rabbets. When the glue dries, add ihe cut nails. Cul the door (K) to fil the opening. We applied a bead to the edge of the door using an old lime hand tool called a scratch beader (Fig. 1). To use it. hold the "handle" of the beader against the edge of the door, then draw ii along the stock. Make several light cuts, stopping them just short of the door corners. Also, al this time, cut the door stop (L) to size and glue it to the top rail as shown. Next, cut the two cleats <N) and the spacer (0) to size, (hen use finishing nails to join them to the top end of the waist as shown. When joining them, make sure the top edges of the cleats and spacer are flush with the top edges of the waist section. Add the Waist Assemble the waisi to the base, locating it so that it sits firmlv on the base
support. If everything looks square, secure the waist to the base w ith several I'/: in. long wood screws driven through the inside of the waist front and sides and into the base spacers. Make the Cove Molding All the cove molding on this project (parts M, Q and X) is the same. To make enough for all these parts you'll need a 4 ft. length of stock that measures 1in. thick by 3 in. wide. After the cove is cut. the stock will be ripped lengthwise to create two. 4 ft. lengths. The cove is cut on the table saw, using the technique of passing the stock, at an angle, over the blade. When making coves this way. the profile of the cove is determined by three factors: the blade Please circle No. 8 on the Reader Sen il e Card 45 |
