44. Use a jointer to cut this edge to form, on the inside edge of each piece, a 1/ 4" by 1/4" rabbet.

45. Set the rabbet edge on the inside and therefore shorter end.

46. Cut the miter ends of the prepared stock, making sure that the rabbet edge is on the inside and, therefore, the shorter edge.

47. Cut the other edges to 20".

48. Place all four pieces loosely on the table, like pieces of a picture frame, with the bottom groove mated to the aprons to make sure the top frame fits in place.

49. Make adjustments as necessary.

50. Glue the top frame members to the aprons, being sure to apply glue to the mitered ends of the top frame parts.

51. Make sure the miter joints fit well.

52. Use C-clamps to clamp the top frame members to the aprons.

53. Rip the remaining 1" x 2" stock carefully, using a feather board and a fence straddler pusher to maintain safety, to make the 1/2" x 3/4" stock needed for trim. NOTE: You will obtain two lengths of stock by cutting through the 3/ 4" thickness.

54. Use a jointer to finish the cut and make an accurate 1/2" width.

55. Measure and cut four pieces, each just over 15" long, from some of the stock just made to form the rail trim (Part C).

56. Cut a 1/4" x 1/4" rabbet the length of one edge of each piece.

57. Use a sanding block to round the other edge across the narrow face of the pieces.

58. Final sand the four trim rails.

59. Check the rails for length against each of the aprons.

60. Build the rabbet to receive the exposed bottom edge of the aprons (see Section Detail).

61. Adjust the length of the trim rail if necessary.

62. Put some glue in the rabbets and glue them in place.

63. Clamp with wooden cabinetmaker's clamps.

64. Cut the remaining stock carefully to four lengths, each exactly 5-1/4", to make the web-work pattern.

65. Miter cut four more lengths so that the long side is exactly 7-1/2", leaving the short side exactly 6".

66. Use a disk sander to cut all eight pieces a little long.

67. Joint the cuts to make the correct length.

68. Glue and assemble the entire web-work.
