1
Cut the radiata pine into three lengths of 750mm (sides) and two lengths of 400mm (ends). Cut the dowel to 800mm long.
2
Take the two lengths of 400mm and mark the long edges at 190mm (this is the width of the board we are using). Then, on the top ends, divide 190mm into three equal parts. Join the marks. After cutting, you should now have two pieces with a triangular shape at the top.
3
Mark down 40mm from the top centre of each triangle and mark the centre positions for the holes. Then, using the spade bit, cut a hole measuring 25mm in diameter.
4
Glue and nail the triangular pieces to the base piece.
5
Next, glue and nail the two 750mm sides to the base.
6
Fit the dowel handle into the holes at each end. Nail and glue together.
7
Sand and varnish as desired.
