Display Pedestal Instructions

1. Set the sawblade at a 30-degree angle and locate the rip fence as shown in Figure 1.

2. Bevel one edge (step A), then turn the stock and bevel the other edge (step B). NOTE: The saw blade must be set at exactly 30 degrees because even a small error will add up to a large gap when you have six joints.

3. Equip the table saw with an adjustable dado head cutter set to make a 1/4" wide cut.

4. Set the dado head at a 30-degree angle.

5. Set the table saw depth so the groove will be 3/8" deep.

6. Adjust the table saw rip fence to properly locate the spline groove (see Figure 2).

7. Make the spline cut (see Figure 3).

8. Cut the 3/4" wide splines are from 1/4" plywood.

9. Add glue to all mating surfaces, assemble, and clamp with a pair of web clamps. 10. Allow the glue to dry overnight.
