Step Eight - Marking the Brace Locations on the Body
•
Transfer the bracing marks on the plywood template to the sides.
•
Connect the marking lines of the braces for the pocket locations in the
kerfing/lining.
Step Nine – Trim the Top
•
Trim the top using a band saw or coping
saw.
Note:
You must use a fine blade and a slow
feed rate if you are using a band saw.
Because you are cutting with the bracing on
the table, the top is unsupported in areas
and has the potential to crack with too fast
or aggressive cut. Take your time!
Step Ten – Mark the Braces for the Length Cut
•
Mark the ends of the bracing in from the perimeter of the top by the
thickness of the sides (3/32”), not including the kerfing/lining.
Note:
The ends of the braces will sit into a pocket you will cut in the
kerfing/lining and not all the way through the side.
