Materials and accessories

QtyPart
1Wood glue (water-resistant D3)

Also: sandpaper (grit 120 and 240), a utility knife or fine saw and, for joints, a rubber mallet.

Carving and finishing

  1. Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
  2. Mill the mortises, then cut out base plate and both strips. From 17 mm material thickness use an end mill with 22 mm cutting length.
  3. Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
  4. Before gluing, dry-fit everything. If a joint is too tight, increase the clearance by 0.05 mm and carve the part again; if it wobbles, reduce it.

Assembly and final touches

  1. Glue the fence strip in from the top and the hook strip from the bottom; sand the tenons flush. The two strips sit on opposite edges.
  2. Once dry, saw the 90° and 45° kerfs into the fence strip with your own saw along the engraved lines: this way the guide fits your saw blade exactly.
