•
One piece of wood forms the base of the jig and this sits flat against the bottom of
the maple side that the cut must line up with.
•
Two tall pieces (the ears) are attached to the jig base so that they are parallel with
the bottom of the maple and extend above the walnut edge rail on both sides.
•
The smooth side of the saw (opposite the teeth) is kept flat against the ears while
cutting the bottom of the walnut edge rail.
It pieces together something like the following (although we had to use a few more pieces
to make sure the guide stayed in place while we worked). The picture on the right shows
a finished cut.

We used this technique to cut the bottoms of all four edge rails flush with the bottom of
the two sides. It works! But takes awhile so we are very late for lunch.
Never-the-less, life in the Shop is good.

It’s getting hard again. We know what we need to do, but don’t know how to do it. We
are designing a cutting template for the front panel of the pedestal. We need to align the
two sides in their final orientation and then place the two Bondo templates between the
sides and screw them together. This gives us an intermediate assembly that has the two
curved sides of the front in correct alignment.
