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 methods stated in this manual. 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. 

 

Warning 

These instructions assume that you are familiar with the safe operation and use of 
woodworking machinery and woodworking tools, and understand the techniques 
used to assemble 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 
serious 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.
