Directions

1 - Reduce stock to finished dimensions following the above directions.

2 - To lay out round corners locate points at each corner on both sides 1 inch from end and 1 inch from edge, and with dividers set at a 1-inch radius swing an arc across the corner to edge and end. Fig. 7.

3 - Draw a line across edge and end at each corner 1 inch from the corner so that the proper amount of stock may be removed.

5 - Locate a point 3/4 inch from one end on a center line drawn lengthwise of the stock and bore hole with 3/8 inch bit. Bore from one side until the point of the bit comes through, then turn the board and finish from the other side. This prevents splitting of the wood around the hole. Fig. 9, Fig. 10.
