Handsome planters you can make


Choose the size, choose the shapes. You cut and stack layers of redwood


Each layer is a ring made of 12 trapezoids with 30[deg] angles on both ends (see drawing of module above right). Offsetting every other ring creates the pattern.Repeat for the opposite side. Join sides with the remaining lengths, gluing and nailing them to the 2-by-2s. Remember that troughs should miter with troughs, peaks with peaks. Fit the base to the bottom, adding 1-by-2 cleats to join the bottom boards. Nail the base to the ends of the 2-by- 2s where they stop short of the lowest layer of wiggle board. Turn over and cap the planter with a frame of mitered 1-by-3s, securing frame to 2-by-2s.For our table-saw version, rip two pieces of scrap wood to fit in the slots in the saw bed. Nail the scraps, positioned to fit into the slots, onto a 2- by 3-foot piece of 1/2-inch plywood, Now feed the plywood through the blade about halfway. With saw off, butt a 30[deg]-60[deg] triangle against the blade (the 30[deg] angle should be closest to it). Draw along the hypotenuse, then continue the line across the entire piece of plywood, Nail or screw a length of scrap 1-by-2 or 2-by-2 along that line:May 21, 1997.)

YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that if you fail to appear, the hearing will proceed without further notice to you, and the allegations in the Application may be taken as true. Dated this 20th day of May, 1997. TINA SMITH, Unit Operations LeaderThe Frommia 660 is a two-sided miter saw for solid wood edges, capable of sawing two miter joints in a single operating cycle. Both miter joints on the board and on the transversal banding are out in one pass at zero tolerances. The saw saves as much as 40 percent of the time required by conventional mitering techniques. A feeler system in the variable saw support immediately corrects for variations in width which occur during processing.PHOTO : The Frommia 660 accommodates workpiece widths of 4 3/4 in. up to 31 1/2 in.Interlocking corners, reminiscent of Lincoln Logs, highlight this easy six-layer planter. You need 24 lengths of redwood ripped from 2-by-8s 20 pieces measure 1-1/2 inches square and 14 inches long; 4 lengths are 1/2 inch shorter. (For all pieces, you can use 2-by-2s, but the planter's sides will have shallow grooves where the layers meet.) Start by butting four 14-inch-long pieces to form a square; each length should have one cut end exposed, the other end glued to the side of another length.clamps to the fixed piece as a stop.A dozen sides to each layer give the handsome planter on Sunset's cover an unexpected woven appearance. The same goes for the two similar dodecagon designs shown on page 95.For the second part of the jig, make a simple L-shape out of scrap wood; thisThis beefy container works well for larger plants or small trees. The six layers--each one cut, mitered, and nailed like a picture frame are made of alternating rows of rough-sawn 4-by-4s and 2-by-2s. Start with three 8-foot lengths of each size of wood. Miter 24 sections in all, 12 each of 4-by-4 and 2-by-2. Cut the top five rows (three rows of 4-by-4, two of 2by-2) so the pieces' short sides (the inside faces) measure 16 inches. Cut the four remaining lengths of 2-by-2 so their short sides are each 15 inches long.We cut 24 pieces (12 each of peak-topeak and trough-to-trough) so all flat sides measure 15-3/8 inches.Occupying space of less than 6 feet square, the Frommia 660 accommodates workpiece widths of 4 3/4 inches up to 31 1/2 inches. Board length is unlimited. One sawing unit is fixed, while the other is manually adjustable to panel width by a handwheel. Power on each sawing unit is 2.8 horse-power, with a spindle speed of 3,600 rpm. The saw weight is approximately 1,230 pounds.The Helikon furniture, plant, established in Sanford, N.C., in 1989, includes as part of its desktop line a Frommia 660 miter saw manufactured by Ferdinand Fromm GmbH & Co. of Fellbach, Germany. It is one of the first such saws sold in the United States.Use the marks to determine the length of the trapezoid's short parallel side (this length dictates the outside diameter of the 1 2-sided rings).Build the planter upside-down so nails (use 2-1/2-inch ones) won't show; glue and nail the four pieces of each successive layer on top of the one below. To give the look of interlocking corners, alternate sides on which cut ends show. End with the 13-1/2-inch-long pieces; this smaller square creates a lip inside the planter to support the base pieces. Sand and finish.Making the trapezoids. The key here is to construct a two-part jig that positions the wood at a 30[deg] angle to the saw blade, at the same time controlling the length of each trapezoid. Here, we give directions for building a jig for a table saw, shown in the sequence of photographs below. If you're using a circular saw, see page 118 for another jig.All designs are based on built-up layers of same-size pieces with identical angles at each end. You can use a handsaw and a miter box to cut pieces for the first three. For the more complicated 12-sided designs, use a table saw and the jig on page 96. (To use a circular saw, see page 118.) To avoid rust stains, use galvanized nails. Bases are 1-by-6s or 1-by-8s; drill three 3/4-inch holes for drainage. Finish planters with a clear water seal, wood stain, or diluted enamel.To position the stop, make a test cut on a piece of the ripped redwood. Turn the wood over so the point faces away from the blade. Position the wood so that the blade would cut a triangle across the wood's full length. Clamp the stop to the fixed guide so tbat the stop just touches the redwood's outside point. Mark the spot on the guide where the bottom corner of the L touches it. Then mark 1/4-inch intervals ftom that point.The short sides of the trapezoids in the 17 1/2-inch-wide planter on the cover measure 15/8 inches tong; for the low, 25-inchwide planter on page 95, the side is 43/4 inches long. The cone-shaped container starts with a 1/4 -inch-long side; each successive layer of trapezoids grows in 1/2inch increments. We topped the cone with a thicker ring cut from 2-by-3s.Used to miter joints and frame parts for desktops, one of the initial product lines turned out at the plant, the machine was part of a machinery plan worked out by Stiles Machinery, a distributor of panel processing machinery, and Columbo Consulting. The machine was placed in a production line in front of a Comil clamping machine used in the desktop production.3 Wiggle board's waves create dramatic patternsUsing glue and 1 1/4-inch nails, anchor each of the lengths to an 8-inch-long piece of 2-by-2, which forms one of the planter's inside corners. Start so the first length of wiggle board (mitered through a peak) sits flush to the tops and outside edges of a pair of 2-by-2s. Next, attach a length mitered through a trough. Repeat, alternating peaks and troughs, to complete the side. The bottom length should overhang the ends of the 2-by-2s by about 1 inch.(Published By The Journal Record4.

The 12-sided planters were based on designs by Andrew G. Anderson of Winters, California.
