As shown in Fig. 4. open the basket to its maximum height, pivot the handle up. and mark where the handle contacts the long base strip (the distance from the acorn nut to the scribe mark should be the same on both handle ends, if the basket is to look right in the open position). Trim the handle ends at the scribe marks, and make a 45-degrce cut at the corner, as shown in the exploded view. The 45-degree corner cut helps ease the handle ends up onto the long base strip as you open the basket. At this point, we should point out that there is a proper way to open and close the basket. If you attempt to lock one end of the handle in first, and then the other end. you risk torquing the basket— and possibly breaking il. The proper technique is demonstrated in the photo on page 36. With one hand grasping the handle at each end. slide both handle ends up onto the long base strip simultaneously. Reverse the procedure for closing the basket. 8 All that's left is removing the paper pattern and applying the finish. Lacquer thinner will take off both the paper and the spray adhesive. Once removed, final sand the basket. The outer perimeter of the handle and basket are sanded, but don't attempt to sand between the spirals. Our basket was finished with several coats of penetrating oil. May/June 1993 Bill of Materials {all dimensions actual) Bill of Materials {all dimensions actual)
