3. Locate the 1" x 12"
strip of basswood.
Measure and mark
4-3/4" from one end.
4. Glue the strip into the precut notches of the small base
pieces so that the mark lines up with an outside edge of
the base. The strip should be centered over the base.
5. After the basswood strip is dry, locate the four 1/4" x
4-3/4" strips; these will be base supports. Take two of
them and cut a shallow notch (1/16" deep) 1/4" from one
end.
6. Line up the notched strips so they ll in the gaps
between the bottom of the basswood strip and the
square base on one side. The notches go toward the end
of the long strip and will create small holes when placed
against the basswood strip. Without cutting notches,
place the second pair of base supports on the other side.
7. Using needle-nose pliers, straighten one of the paper
clips. Using the cutter on the inside of the pliers, cut a
2-5/8" piece o the paper clip and bend that piece into a
triangular shape like that shown above “Trigger” on the
template.
8. Slide the ends of the triangle through the holes at the
front of the basswood strip (formed by the notches in the
small strips) so the triangle forms a hook.
