This project is made from
eight simple parts (plus ten
dowel plugs). All parts are from
planking (¾" thick finished
dimension) stock.
Download, and print, the Adobe
Acrobat version of the drawings
(left) by clicking here
(you might have to
right click).
Choose the particular
"cut" you want for the
top of the stiles (the sides).
You can use the rounded-top cut,
which will require a band saw,
jigsaw or scroll saw, or select
the simple "dog-eared"
cut.
For a rounded-top stile, mark the
piece for the round cut by
locating and marking the width
center. Make another mark the
same distance from the top. Use a
compass to scribe the curve from
the marked center point.
Cut the eight pieces then locate
and drill the ten holes
iondicated. Counter sink (recess)
each hole to facilitate wooden
dowel plugs. |

Assembly
Start with the
top cross member. Place a
screw in the top recessed
hole of one of the stiles
and turn the screw into
the pilot hole until the
tip begins to emerge on
the other side. Now place
one of the cross members
against the screw tip,
align the pilot hole, and
turn the screw into the
wood. Repeat for the
other stile. Continue
until you have put all of
the cross members,
including the bottom
brace, in place. Be sure
not to overtighten, so
that you can adjust the
cross members if needed.
After installing the
cross members, attache
both "feet." If
everything fits together
properly and is correctly
adjusted, tighten all
screws. |
