Trim the shelf to the final dimensions (14-1/2" wide x 18" long).

Scribe the 5-1/2" radius at each corner.

Use the band or saber saw to cut out the radius.

Select a piece of 1-1/2" square stock to make the four feet (Q).

Lathe-turn each foot to 1-3/8" long, noting that the foot tapers from 1-1/2"

diameter at the top to 5/8" diameter at the bottom.

Sand each foot smooth.

Drill a 1/2" diameter by 3/4" deep hole at the center of each foot as shown. Drill a matching hole in the bottom of each leg (A). Use 1/2" diameter by 1-7/16" long dowel pins, glue, and clamps to join parts A to Q.

Select a piece of 3/4" thick stock measuring 5-5/8" wide to make the upper back (part K), the two upper ends (parts L), and the upper front (part M) can be cut.

Cut each part to approximately 1" longer than the length shown in the materials list.

Miter each end to 45 degrees while cutting the parts to final length. Cut, at a point 3/8" from the bottom edge of the stock, a 3/8" deep by 1/4" wide groove on the inside of each piece to accept the bottom (part N). Use the dadohead cutter to cut the 5/16" deep by 3/4" wide notches on the top edge of both parts K and L.

Transfer the grid pattern for part L from the drawing to the stock. Use a band or saber saw to cut to shape.

Edge-glue 3/4" stock for the top (part N), allowing extra for both length and width.

Allow to dry.

Cut to length and width.

Use a dado-head cutter, a molding-head cutter, and an auxiliary wood fence

to cut the edging for the top (see Figure 7).

Apply glue to the miters on parts K, L, M, and N.

Apply glue to a 2" wide strip along the edge of the bottom (see exploded

drawing.

Assemble parts K, L, M, and N.

Use web clamps to clamp the miters together.

Cut a piece of cut a piece of 3/4" particleboard to 10" by 12" to begin making the table saw jig needed to cut the splines (see Figure 8). Cut two pieces of 3/4" stock to 1-1/2" wide by 14" long. Miter one end of each piece.
