Accordingly, a distance of i27 in. along the edges of the plywood panel is measured off in both directions from each corner, and a line drawn across the corners, connecting these points into four equal triangles, as shown in detail A, figure 2.43. By sawing across the lines an octagonal section results that will fit 102 .

The latter can be laid in place on the octagonal panel and used as a templet for marking the position of short cleats, which should be screwed into the plywood top with due allowance for easy fit. The cleats should be thick enough so that smaller cleats or latches can be pivoted to them as catches when the table is in use. Felt or any suitable material is cemented to the top surface and brought down over the octagonal edges before the pokerchip ledge is fastened in place. The Fig. 2.43.

Each corner post is both mitercut and notched to fit the octagonal corni as in detail B. With two corner posts held in place as templets, the bottom of i section is marked so that it can be cut in such a manner that in. of each t can be bradded to the underside of the corner posts. Using this bottom piece a templet, the bottoms of the seven remaining sections are cut and tried for fit. The same method is employed for the sides, and later the corner strips. Th( strips are ripped diagonally and serve as corner braces to which the bottoms a sides can be glued and screwed and also make it easy to pick up circular chi or counters from the bottom of the ledge, or pocket (detail C). Assembled section by section this ledge is tried frequently for fit around tl octagonal table top. The interior spacers are fastened in place as shown in tl diagram. When dry, the inner face is screwed to the edge of the table top. Ft additional security triangular wooden supports or metal angle irons are screwe behind the center of four of the sections, as shown in C. Fig. 2.44. Poker chip rack. PokerChip Rack. A circular rack for poker chips (Figure 2.44) is easy to bandsaw out of five in.thick pieces of stock approximately 9 in. square. Walnut or mahogany makes a singlecolored project, or the woods may be alternated, light and dark. For the jigsaw enthusiast, plywood sections can be substituted, or any scrap lumber that will cut without fraying. A yyiin. circle is laid out and eight iin. holes bored with an expansive bit, as shown in Figure 2.44. The outer arcs of these holes subtend in. chords in the circumference of the large circle, so that when the latter is cut out, in.
