Adobe Acrobat Reader Troubleshooting Guide

If you can read this page, your Acrobat Reader program is working correctly! But you may still have problems or specific issues, such as printing and saving your downloadable file.

My printer won’t print the text correctlyAlmost all printing problems are due to not enough free system resources memory. The files are very memory intensive because they include graphics, text, and photos. Close all other programs/applications and print directly out of the Acrobat Reader program, not your Web browser.

Patterns are not printing full-sizeMake sure your printer is set to print at 100 percent and that “print to fit” is not checked. These settings are selected in the printer setup or printer options.

I can’t save my file now that it’s downloadedYou must save the plan when you download the file. Download the file again, except this time try right-clicking on the red download button. A menu window will open. Select “Save target as” or “Save link as” to save the file to your hard drive. Once saved, you can open it up with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Materials key: MP–medium-density overlay (MDO) plywood, C–cedar.

Supplies: #8×1", #8×1‹", #8×1fi", and #8×2fi" stain-less-steel flathead wood screws; 6d galvanized finish nails; spray adhesive; exterior-type adhesive.

Blades and bits: Dado-blade set, 45° chamferrouter bit.

Start with the box

1Cut the sides (A) to the size listed in the Materials

List. Glue and clamp the sides together, overlapping the ends, where shown on Drawing 1. Use an exterior-type adhesive, such as Titebond II or polyure-thane glue. Check for square. Then drill countersunk shank holes, where shown, and drive in the screws.

2Cut the support rails (B) to size. Using a dado blade in

your tablesaw, cut a 1fi" notch 1‡" deep in the center of each rail. Glue and screw the rails together. Place the rails in the bottom of the box, and secure with screws, where shown. If you plan to make the tree onlays instead of the center stiles (F), be sure to keep these screws within 2" of the box’s bottom so they’ll be hidden by the bottom rails (E).

Add the trim

1Cut the wide stiles (C) and nar-row stiles (D) to size. Mark a

1‹" radius at the bottom of a nar-row stile (either corner is fine), where dimensioned on Drawing 2. Bandsaw and sand the radius to shape. Using this stile as a template, mark the radius on a corner of each of the remaining narrow and wide stiles. Bandsaw and sand these pieces.

2Glue and clamp the narrow and wide stiles together,

where shown on Drawing 1. Note that the stile assemblies (C/D) at adjacent corners are a mirror image. When the glue dries, screw the assemblies to the box, as shown in Photo A, with their top edges flush.

3From ‡"-thick cedar, cut eight 3×14" pieces for the

top and bottom rails (E). Trim each rail’s length to fit between the stile assemblies (C/D). Mark the rails and box so you’ll install the pieces in the same locations later.

4Using a flexible metal ruler or a thin strip of wood as a

fairing strip, mark an arch on a rail (E), where dimensioned on Drawing 2. Bandsaw and sand the arch to shape. Using this rail as a template, mark the arch on the remaining rails; then cut and sand them.Note: If you’re planning to make the tree onlays instead of the center stiles (F), proceed to step 7.

5From ‡"-thick cedar planed to fl"-thick, cut four 4×16›"

pieces for the center stiles (F). Mark centerlines on the stiles and rails (E), where shown in

Photo B. Position a top and bottom rail on a stile, and mark the rails’ contours on the stile, as shown. Identify the stile to match it to the rails, and keep the parts together. Repeat this process to mark the remaining stiles. Now, bandsaw the stiles’ ends to shape, and sand them to get a good fit between the rails.

6Mark the arches on the sides of a center stile (F), where

dimensioned on Drawing 2. Bandsaw and sand the arches to shape. Use this stile to mark the arches on the remaining pieces; then cut and sand them.

With the stile assemblies clamped to the box (no glue), drill counter-sunk shank holes in the box, and drive in the screws.

7Remove the stile assemblies (C/D) from the box, and

mark their locations. Sand all of the stiles and rails to 220 grit. Then chamfer the edges of the parts, where shown.

8Tree onlay option: Make four copies of the full-size

tree pattern on the page 7. Adhere them to a fl×4fi×34" piece of cedar with spray adhe-sive. Bandsaw the trees to shape, and sand their edges smooth. Chamfer along their outside edge, where shown on the pat-tern. Set the trees aside.

Head for the top

1Cut the top trim pieces (G) to size. Miter-cut their ends,

where shown on Drawing 1. Glue the pieces together to form a frame, secure with a band clamp, and check for square.

2Referring to the Shop Tip on page 6, cut a slot in each

corner of the frame to receive the spline blanks (H), where shown on Drawing 1.

Mitered workpieces sub-jected to the rigors of Mother Nature will surely open up unless you rein-force them in a substantial way. The best solution is to span the miters with hefty splines, like those for the planter’s top trim (G), that offer plenty of face-grain gluing surface.

To safely support your workpiece while cutting the deep slots for the splines, build a V-block jig, as shown above, right. Raise your ¤"-thick tablesaw blade to the appropriate height for the required slot depth (2fi" for the planter). Position your fence to cen-ter the blade on the width of the jig’s ‡"-thick cleat. Clamp the frame in the jig, and cut the slot, as shown at right.

Big splines keep exterior miters looking fine

3Resaw a ¤"-thick strip from a ‡×2fl×24" piece of

cedar for the spline blanks (H). Referring to Drawing 1a and the Cutting Diagram, miter-cut four 2fl×5‹" splines from the strip. Apply glue in the frame’s slots, and insert the splines. When the glue dries, flush-trim and sand the splines.

4Chamfer the frame’s top edges, where shown on

Drawing 1. Chisel the inside-corner edges to complete the chamfers. Now sand the frame.

Finish and assemble

1Remove the support rails (B) from the box. Brush two

coats of paint or stain on the inside and outside surfaces of the box. (We used Olympic Solid Color Deck Stain, acrylic latex, Faulkland color.) Brush two coats of a wood tone finish on all of the other parts. (We used Wolman RainCoat Water Repellent, cedar tone.)

2Reattach the support rails (B) and stile assemblies (C/

D) to the box. Fasten the top and bottom rails (E) by drilling countersunk shank holes on the inside of the box and driving in #8×1‹" screws. In the same way, fasten the center stiles (F) or trees using #8×1" screws. Centering the assembled top trim (G) on the box, glue and nail it in place.

3 Finally, place a pot in the box, and plant flowers. At

a home center, we found a 16"-square, 13fl"-tall pot with a self-supporting rim that fits the box just right. For a pot less than 13fl" tall, elevate it by placing scrap cedar spacers on top of the support rails (B), as needed. ¿
