How To Make The Bar 1 Make the Post Source Block Starting with a 'Ax 1 iyjixl2" source block, resaw into two sections as dimensioned on the Step 1 drawing at right. Cut a H x W-wide groove in the bottom section, and then giue the two sections back together. This will give you a single source block with a W-square hole through the length of the bar. Next, using a Va" thin-kerf blade, trim the block so the bar hole will be perfectly centered %" from each edge. 2 Crosscut the Posts Mount a thin-kerf blade on your tablesaw. f f you have two miter gauges, set one perpendicular (90°) to the np fence and the second at 18° from perpendicular. Alternating the miter gauges, miter-cut the block to yield the individual posts as dimensioned in Step 2. 3 Remove the Waste Trim the waste from the top end of the posts to yield a final 1 /i"-iong post as dimensioned on the Step 3 drawing below right. 4 Cut the Bars and Pins Rip bar stock sufficient for your box size, and drill for pins to secure the bar between the posts. Ford made the bars on his boxes from cocobolo, and the pins from ^"-diameter PVC welding rod. If you can't get PVC welding rod locally, we've included a mail-order source (see our Kit Sources below). Or. make Yt"-diameter pins from wood dowels if you'd prefer not to use plastic. Kit Sources STOCK KITS FOR BOXES: You may order kits for the three boxes.
