GOTCHA: Check the next post before gluing on the side pieces!
The three pieces were glued side by side with the dowel in the middle top.
Clothes pin clamps held it all together while it dried.
The sides were cleaned up again without sanding too much off the sides. The height of the dowel mount could be critical later on.
The top was rounded off trying to match the contour of the dowel.
Potential gotcha - the new version instructions appear to missing a few points present in the old version. It is missing the "sides extend below center - do not trim yet" note (the illustration on old version also clearly shows that side pieces extend slightly below the center piece).
ReplyDeleteHi Naoto,
DeleteThat would explain why the dowel mount seems short! Thanks for the tip, I'll fix the post and show the differences from the old instructions.
