Deeply drill an end of the stick “with 1” (3). To make easier rotation, to cut the corners in addition to stick to form an octagon before joining to the top of the base and the stick. To 4” length, this piece is little small to run by the saw of table. And it’s awkward to run by a band saw with the table inclined at 45. I used a sledge on the band saw to cut the corners. The catch of time to build a sledge to cut the corners is extinct good in value the effort. I already had a sledge since I turn some blocks of bottle which are cut to an octagonal form before the assembly on the lathe. For my sledge I employed a certain fall 1” - the thick nut which had been already cut on an angle 45. The two pieces were only 3” of broad, but would work to cut white as long as 5”.
If you make a sledge starting from two pieces of wood, to cut a base of the cardboard longer than the distance from the blade to the slit of mitres and as to far as to employ wood of your. To stick the two pieces to the base of cardboard as well as the 45 angles form a V Once. Dryness, to measure 11/16” of the center of V and to cut out excess on the saw of table. To place this edge counter the blade of band saw and to put a mark on the other end where it crosses the slit of mitres (the side of the slit nearest to the blade). To then cut out excess on the saw of table. After, to mill a piece of hard wood that’s approximately 6” length and at least 2” with far in thickness of your slit of mitres. To slip this into the slit of mitres.
With the two pieces on the band saw (to ensure correct alignment) to stick them together and use the screws or the brads to reinforce the joint. To stick a small piece of fall to the back of the block with V like stop, and you’re in the businesses (4). Square turns of actions on an angle 45 by the blade. The subsistence just reversing the block until each of the four corners is cut (5).
