5 Let s start sawing 1 ut all parts to the sizes shown in the ill of Materials. You can saw all of them from two pieces of western red cedar a 2 4 and a 2 6, each 8' long. edar lumber is often knotty, so select boards that will allow you to avoid the worst of the knots. 2 Saw 30 bevels on both sides of one end of each bowl support () and foot (). The bevels should meet at the middle of the end, as shown by the Top Section Top View drawing and the Exploded View drawing. To cut the bevels uniformly, tilt your tablesaw s blade 30 from vertical, then set up your miter gauge with an auxiliary fence. Position a stopblock on the auxiliary fence to cut each set of parts. 3 evel-rip each wide upright () along both sides of one edge. The bevels should meet at the middle of the edge. fter sawing the bevels, sand or hand-plane a slight flat at the point, shown in the Wide Upright End View drawing on page 9. This will create space for excess glue to squeeze into at assembly time. 4 Saw spline slots in the wide uprights, where shown in the Wide Upright End View drawing. To accomplish this, leave the saw blade tilted to 30, and attach an auxiliary fence to your saw s fence. djust the fence position and the blade elevation to cut the spline slots as dimensioned. Then, saw the slots, standing the workpiece on its beveled edge as shown below. 5 Lay out the end profiles on the bowl supports () and feet (), following the radii and dimensions shown on the Parts View drawings on pages 9 and 10. andsaw the pieces to shape, remaining slightly outside the layout lines. Then, sand to the lines. 6 Saw three 18" plywood or hardboard splines for the center joint.

Draw the lines on the edges that will be counterbored in the base. 2 t the center of the edge, bore a " hole " deep at each centerline. (We used a drill press and Forstner bit, and positioned a fence to center the bit on the edge.) 3 fter drilling the counterbores, change to a ˇ" bit, and drill through the center of the counterbores, as shown above. The fence you set for drilling the counterbores will help you drill the bolt holes accurately. Next, add the apples 1 Make three copies of the Full-Size Pattern for the apple design. You ll find the pattern on page pply a copy of the pattern to each wide upright where shown. Rubber cement or spray adhesive will hold it. (If you use spray adhesive, follow the manufacturer s instructions for temporary bonding.) Point the leaf away from the upright s beveled edge. 3 Drill a blade start hole inside the apple, and scrollsaw along the pattern line. #7 blade, " with 12 teeth per inch, works well for scrollsawing the thick cedar. Sand as necessary. 4 Paint the sawn apple edge red and the leaf and stem green. Here s how we did that. First, brush clear lacquer onto the sawn edges and the surfaces around the apples, extending about 1" out from the cutout. The lacquer helps keep the paint from wicking into the wood grain, and masks the faces around the cutout for a tidier paint job. fter the lacquer dries, paint the leaf and stem green. Let that dry, then paint the apple red. To paint the cutouts, we sprayed some aerosol enamel into a paper cup, and brushed it on. 5 fter the paint dries, sand the faces of the wide uprights to remove the lacquer. 6 Rout or sand " round-overs on all parts. Do not round over the ends of the upright members (, D). Finish-sand all parts. Page 5 of 11

Put everything together 1 Dry-assemble the three wide uprights () and splines. To fit the parts together, insert a spline into the right-hand bevel of each part.

7 Put everything together 1 Dry-assemble the three wide uprights () and splines. To fit the parts together, insert a spline into the right-hand bevel of each part. Then, bring the parts together at the bottom, and working upward, push the three-way joint together, as shown in the photo at right. Pull the joint firmly together with two band clamps to check the fit. 2 When you re satisfied that the parts fit together properly, undo the clamps, separate the parts, and reassemble with water-resistant glue. (We used Titebond II.) lamp until dry. 3 Stand the assembled wide uprights on end, the top end up. Place the three bowl supports on top of the assembly, centering each from sideto-side with their junction over the center of the upright assembly. 4 Hold the bowl supports in position, and mark the centers for pilot holes into the uprights. Inserting a pencil or one of the lag bolts through the holes in part will mark the centers. 5 Drill " pilot holes 2" deep. ttach the bowl supports to the wide uprights with ˇ 3fi" lag bolts and washers. socket wrench (fi") makes driving the bolts into the counterbores easier. 6 Stand the assembly on its top, and drill pilot holes for the feet (), following the same procedure. ttach the feet to the uprights with ˇ 4fi" lag bolts and washers. 7 Slide the narrow uprights (D) into position, mark pilot hole centers in both ends, and drill the pilot holes. olt the uprights into place. Handscrew clamps will hold the narrow uprights while you drive in the bolts. 8 Sand the assembled birdbath base, and apply a clear exterior finish. (We applied WF-UV, an ultraviolet-resistant clear finish we bought from a paint store.) fter it dries, place the tray in the bowl supports. We designed the birdbath to hold a 19 "-diameter plastic flower-pot saucer (kro-mils Plas Terra no. 12- Work from the bottom upward when assembling the splined three-way joint. 424 saucer for a 24" pot.) You should be able to purchase a similar saucer at a garden-supply shop, or you can mail-order one from our source listed in the uying Guide. You can secure the lightweight bowl to the bowl supports with a few dabs of silicone adhesive. Produced by Marlen Kemmet Written by Larry Johnston Project Design: harles I.
