SECTION 1: SAFETY

These instructions assume that you are intimately familiar with the safe operation and use of
woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques used to repro-
duce this project. If you do not qualify for both of these criteria, STOP building this project for
your own safety. 
Read and understand the owner’s manual for the machinery you intend to use,
take a woodworking class or visit your local library for more information. Woodworking machinery
and tools are inherently dangerous, because they use sharp edges that can and will cause seri-
ous personal injury including amputation and death. Do not underestimate the ability of these tools
and machinery to cause injury. Never operate any tool without all guards in place and always wear
approved safety glasses. For your own safety, please heed this warning.

Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or
reading glasses are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Because there are various ways to cut and join wood, you can make substitutions for the meth-
ods stated in this plan. We try to suggest the easiest methods possible. However, only you know
your skills with each piece of machinery. Never compromise your safety by using a cutting method
with which you are not comfortable. Instead, find an alternative approach that will yield the same
result.
