Working With Wood Continued
I bought some wooden dowel material that were 48 inches long and I'm
cutting them to the length I need here.
|
 |
At the left is the top and I didn't go all the way
through with my dowel holes. But on the right is the bottom piece
which I did go though. This way I can have the wood dowel locate two
pieces with one dowel, which is much easier than two shorter dowels.
|
 |
I made sure the dots were aligned with the corners so each piece would
line up with each other.
|
 |
Next I glued and clamped them together. Note: the square piece on the
left (against my clamp) is only a clamp plate to help distribute the load on the feet.

 |
After talking to my daughter, she wanted me to use satin clear on this
project.

It's Finished
Here are two of the 12 that I made, with these being the larger ones.
|
 |
Two more of the larger ones.
|
 |
I like the fact that you can't see any fasteners.
|
 |
Two of the mid size.
|
 |
Mid size again here. Now it's time to revisit the coaster project.
