7. Set the table saw rip fence to cut part B exactly down the center, using a push stick to keep hands away from the saw blade.

8. Clamp the two halves together temporarily.

9. Transfer both the inside and outside full-size heart patterns, making sure points "A" and "B" fall on the cut line.

10. Use a 1/8" -1/4" wide band saw blade to cut out the inside profile.

11. Sand all saw cuts until smooth.

12. Apply a thin coat of past wax to the cutout area to make glue clean-up easier later on.

13. Apply a thin coat of white or yellow glue to the mating surfaces.

14. Clamp firmly, making sure all edges and ends are flush.

15. Use the table saw to rip parts A and C to the same width as part B.

16. Tape parts B and C together, making sure all the edges are flush.

17. Apply a coat of paste was to the exposed area of part C, again to simplify glue clean-up.

18. Separate parts B and C.

19. Apply a coat of yellow or white glue to the unwaxed areas of part C.

20. Make clamp pads from scrap stock to keep the edges of parts B and C in line when you clamp them together and to protect the bottom surfaces of the stock.

21. Wax the clamp pads.

22. Clamp parts B and C together using the clamp pads.

23. Use the full-size pattern to lay out and mark the location of the 1/4" diameter x 1/8" deep hole on the underside of part A.

24. Use epoxy glue to secure the 1/4" diameter x 5/8" long dowel in place.

25. Transfer the outside profile of the full-sized pattern to part A.

26. Assemble part A to part B, using a piece of tape to keep the parts from moving.

27. Use the band saw to make the cuts in the sequence shown.

28. Final sand all parts once cut.

29. Clean up the glue squeeze-out.

30. Apply a coat of paste wax for an attractive final finish.
