The Heart-Shaped Display Stand

7. Again, while the shelves are still taped together, use a Strip Sander or one of Shopsmith's all-new, 6" long Drum Sanders to sand the outside edges smooth to your line. NOTE: If you're using a Drum Sander, you'll still have to hand-sand the notch at the top of each heart-shaped shelf.

8. Cut the Legs (B) to size, according to the List of Materials.

9. Following the dimensions shown in Fig. 3, use your Dado set-up to cut the 3/4" wide by 1/4" deep shelf support dadoes in the Legs (B).

10. Use your Shaper set-up with a Quarter-Round & Cove Bit ---- or your Router set-up with a 1/4" Router Chuck and 3/8" Round-Over Bit to round-over your shelf edges. NOTE: Be careful not to round-over in the three areas where the Shelves (A) attach to the Legs (B).

11. Counterbore 3/8" diameter x 1/4" deep holes on the outside of the Legs (B), centered over your dadoes (Fig. 3), then drill through for the screw shanks.

12. Assemble the Stand as shown in Fig. 4 using 1-1/2" x #6 wood screws. Cover the screw heads with dowel hole plugs and sand flush.

13. Apply the finish of your choice and enjoy!
