2. Mark the location of all holes
to be drilled. The fourteen 1/2"diameter column holes in the base (A) and the four 3/4"-diameter brace holes in the rails (C) must be drilled at 10 angles. 3. Change the drill press table back to 90 to drill the fourteen 1/2"-
diameter column holes and the
3/4"-diameter decorative holes in the top rails. 4. Using the patterns provided, cut the contours of the top rails and the feet (B). 5. With a handsaw or table saw, cut a 60 bevel on the edges of the base and the ends of the feet. Make sure the pieces are exactly the same width and the same angle where they join. 6. Cut the braces (D) and columns (E) to length, making sure to knock off any burrs on the ends. 7. To assemble, first attach the feet to the base using glue and #8 x 1-1/2" flathead wood screws. Countersink the screws. 8. To complete the rack assembly, use glue to fasten the ends of the columns and braces. Be sure to wipe off any excess glue immediately with a damp rag. 9. Use a sanding block to round over all sharp edges, including the protruding ends of the braces, and to smooth the joints between the base and legs. 10. Stain the rack with an Early American stain. Natural oil is recommended for the finish.
