INTRODUÇÃO
Adilson Pinheiro por aqui. Tudo bem?
Sabemos que a melhor forma de evoluir na marcenaria
é produzindo isso é uma verdade irrevogável,
Também sabemos que a internet está lotada de
vídeos, fotos e desenhos de peças que você pode
fazer, por um lado isso é bom, por outro gera confusão
e até pode atrasar sua diversão e evolução.
Como assim?
É fácil passar horas em busca de uma inspiração ou de
um esquema de fabricação e no fim do dia não ter
encontrado algo que realmente valha a pena fazer.
Pensando em você, selecionei alguns bons projetos
que estão disponíveis gratuitamente na internet para
que possa executar.
Muitos deles estão em inglês, mas não se preocupe, as
imagens são auto-explicativas.
Outros estão com medidas em polegadas, para esses
eu te aconselho usar uma trena ou metro com medidas
em polegadas, não tente converter só irá gerar
confusão.
Por fim desejo que se divirta e evolua na marcenaria
criativa.
Abraços e bons projetos!

1.
Drill for 1-1/4” pocket screws along the ends and top edges of both the top front and top back rails as shown. Attach the top front and
the top back brace rails to the vertical side boards with screws and wood glue. The pocket holes along the top edge will be used to
attach the top later on.
Attach the rails with the pocket screws facing out. You will cover up the front pocket holes
with a face frame and you want the back to have the clean face facing inwards.
2.
Drill for 1-1/4” pocket screws in the bottom shelf and the bottom rail brace as shown. First attach the bottom shelf with wood glue
and screws so that the top of the shelf is 1-1/2” (or the thickness of your 1” x 2” board for the bottom of the face frame) from the
bottom as shown. Then attach your bottom brace rail with the pocket screws facing outward as shown..
3.
Cut the side face frame pieces and the top and bottom face frame pieces to fit the box you made in steps 1 and 2.
Create your face-frame as shown, drilling for 1-1/4” pocket screws and attaching with wood glue and screws.
Make sure the faces and edges of the boards are all flush.

Drill for 1-1/4” pocket screws along the sides and front edges on the bottom of the remaining two shelves.
Attach with wood glue and screws; making sure the top of the shelves are flush with the shelf face frame rails.
6.
Cut your plywood back panel to fit so that it will be flush top and bottom and 1/8” shorter on both sides of the box you’ve created.
Attach with staples so that the orientation of the staples run vertical. With the back panel cut narrower you should still have about
1/2” of the side panel edges to staple into. See detail.

Hold your 1” x 12” board on top of your cabinet, flush with the back. Measure how far forward the board hangs over the front
and cut the length so that the over hang is equal on all sides. Attach with wood glue and pocket screws through the
holes you drilled earlier in step 1.
8.
Attach your cove molding by first cutting a 45 degree miter cut at one end. Then hold the piece up to the front with the mitered end at
one end. Mark the other for length and cut the opposite mitered 45 degree cut. Now cut a mitered cut into a piece slightly longer than
the side. Hold that piece and the front piece in place and mark the length of the side piece where it touches the back end
of the side board, NOT THE BACK OF THE PLYWOOD PANEL. Make a straight cut on the other end of the side molding.
Now repeat with the other side and dry fit the three pieces. Once you are happy with the corner mitered cuts attach with
wood glue and 3/4” brad nails.
Repeat adding the molding on the bottom but flip the molding so that the flat end is on the bottom.
9.
Attach the plate for the sliding door according to the instructions that came with the hardware. Basically, the instructions will give you
measurements for screw and plate placement. The kit should have a spacer and screws and be attached similarly as shown.

10.
Taking into account the length of the door sliding hardware and how it sits on the plate will determine the length of your
door slats. Take some time and take careful measurements. You basically want the door to be about 3/4” shorter than your cabinet
when it is hung. If for some reason it comes out a bit too long you can always run the finished door across your table saw, or use
a radial hand saw, and trim it to the proper length.
To attach the door slats together you will drill for 1-1/4” pocket screws as shown. When laying out the boards take notice of the circu-
lar motion of the end grain on the edge of your board. You want to alternate the end grain as shown in the detail above. This will help
the door not to cup and warp over time. Attach with wood glue and screws..
11.
Attach the door hanging hardware according to the instructions that came with the hardware. As an added, decorative element we
attached a metal strapping across the bottom as shown. You could instead use a door pull or simply nothing at all.

TRAPEZOIDAL BOOKCASE 83
Building the Bookcase Step-by-Step
Full-Scale Drawings
Full-scale drawings may seem like overkill, but they are tremen-
dously useful, especially when the piece is complex.
An accurate full-scale drawing lets you take all your measure-
ments from it as you work. You don’t have to fiddle with cut lists
and calculate joints and details in your head. Just put a ruler on
the drawing, and you have your measurement.
They’re also helpful to visually evaluate the size and propor-
tions of the piece. If you want to adapt a design to a different
space or to hold some specific objects, the full-scale drawing
helps you see what it will look like. Scale drawings can tell you
only so much. Subtle changes that would be all but invisible in a
small drawing can be quite dramatic full size.
To transfer angles from the drawing to a workpiece or machine,
use a large protractor gauge, such as one made by CCKL Creator
(available from Lee Valley Tools). It is much larger than a standard
bevel gauge, and it allows a greater reach on the drawing and
greater accuracy. It also allows you to read the actual angle. This
makes resetting it a cinch, which isn’t necessarily the case with a
standard bevel gauge.
84 TRAPEZOIDAL BOOKCASE
1. If you can, resaw 8/4 stock for the sides
and book-match them. I couldn’t book-match
the bookcase you see in the photos with the
ash I had, but it is certainly worth the trouble.
2. If you use unmatched boards, choose the
best match of grain and color for the sides,
and decide if you want the glue joint parallel
with the straight back or with the tapered
edge on the front. I chose parallel to the back,
which seemed the least obvious.
3. Glue up all the stock for the bookcase
shelves and sides at once (see photo A).

Jigs for Routing Angled Mortises
To cut the four mortises in the sides, you need two jigs with movable fences. The jigs are
identical except that they are mirror images of each other. One edge of each jig is angled
like the front edge of the bookcase, and the bottoms of each are shimmed at 3 degrees, the
same angle that the bookcase sides lean inward.

Cutting the mortises in the

In a perfect world, the wedges would be simple
to fit in the tenons, needing only accurate
measurements and layout. In reality, there is
a lot of fitting to get the wedges just right.
Differences in the size of the mortise as little
as 1⁄ 32 in. can cause the height of the wedge to

alignment of the pieces. While this is not necessary for a successful glue-up, it significantly reduces the
sanding time resulting from misaligned boards. Apply glue to the joints (check the boards for alignment if
you are not using dowels or biscuits), and tighten the clamps carefully to avoid damaging the soft cedar
edges.
When the glue has cured, trim the panel to ensure a straight edge at each end. To continue the line of the
curve suggested by the legs, tilt your table saw blade over to 80º and undercut the ends using a cross cut
sled on the table saw. Undercutting the sides on a right hand tilt table saw will pinch the top between the
fence and the blade, setting up the conditions for a dangerous kickback. You are best to make this cut on
the jointer by tilting the fence and taking several passes until the required material has been removed.
The hard edge on the seat must be broken and this is best done on a router table. Install a ½" round over
bit in the router table and use a fence to limit the amount of the cutting edge that is exposed to the outer
portion of the bit. This will create a soft curve at the edge without having the complete round over ruin
the undercut profile of the top. You can now finish sand both sides of the top.
The customer I was making this bench for requested that I include his favourite quote by one of the great
thinkers of the 20th century. I used a CNC router to carve the inscription into the front apron, but this
could also be done using a router with template guides or the old-fashioned way, by hand with a fine
carving knife (preferrededge.ca).
The Legs
The legs are the only portion of this project that might throw you a curve; two actually. Each of the legs
has a concave face on the two faces that face out from the bench. Adding a curve to a project gives it a
sense of movement and makes its outline seem a lot less blocky. The two curves in each leg serve to
visually lighten the look of the bench; by removing a little material from each leg, the appearance of the
entire bench changes dramatically. I found some rough cedar 4 x 4’s at the local yard but dressed stock
would work just as well, although you will need to reduce the cross sectional dimension just a little to
accommodate the smaller stock. When choosing stock for the legs, pay particular attention to the grain.
Try to choose material that has the grain running straight up the leg on all four sides as this will result in a
clean appearance on the final leg; flat grain showing on the legs would give the bench a confusing and
busy look. If you can only find pieces with vertical grain on two or three sides, use the straight-grained
sides for the curved faces and orient the flat grain to face inwards.
Mill the rough stock into flat square blanks for each leg. Use a cross cut sled on the table saw to cut them
all to the exact same length. Again, use a dowelling jig to drill dowel holes in the two inside faces of each
leg for the leg-to-apron connection.
Before cutting the curves on the leg stock, take the time to make a pattern so that all eight cuts will be
identical. Cut a piece of MDF to the same size as the leg, and use a drawing batten or a 24" stainless steel
ruler to trace a gentle curve onto the MDF. Then cut this out using a bandsaw. If you plan on using this
template with a bearing-guided router in the future, take the time to smooth the curve with a sander. If
you will only be using it to trace the curve onto the legs, such as in this case, the band-sawn edge should
be smooth enough.
Place the template onto the leg stock and then trace out the curves on the two outside faces. Cut these
curves out on the bandsaw in one slow, smooth operation. Set the off-cuts aside as they will be needed
during assembly. Take your time cutting this thick stock or you may find that your blade wanders or you
may find yourself with a barrel shaped cut. Before making the cut, check to see that your bandsaw table is
90º to the blade or you will have additional sanding to do to square it up again.
Using the largest drum on an oscillating spindle sander, remove the saw marks from the curved faces.
Keep the legs moving against the drum or you will end up with a series of ridges running across the face
of the piece. If you don’t have a spindle sander, you can use files and sandpaper attached to a contoured
block of wood. After removing the saw marks, use a random orbit sander to sand the legs for finishing.
Use a sander, block plane or file, to slightly round over the bottom edge of the legs to keep the sharp
corner from snagging on something and chipping out.
The Finish
Glue that gets onto cedar will make a mess of any finish you plan on using so it is best to finish these
pieces completely before assembly. The finish you put on this bench will be determined by where it will
be placed. If you are placing this bench outdoors, then a finish that will protect it from sun and rain is
required unless you want the bench to fade to the natural gray appearance that cedar takes on when
exposed to the elements. Early on in my woodworking career I used a film forming finish on cedar and
while I still have some of the pieces I built a dozen years ago, they no longer have any finish on them.
Cedar is a very soft wood and will dent and deform much easier than the finish covering it, so wherever
there is a ding, the finish separates and allows water underneath. Eventually the moisture under the finish
causes it to peel off almost completely. I now use a non-film forming finish for outdoor cedar projects as
these can easily be renewed every year without the need to strip off old finish completely. As this bench
was destined to be placed in an enclosed front porch, an easily repairable coat of Tung oil and wax is all
that was required.
The Assembly
Place some glue into the dowel holes in each leg and then insert the dowels. Because the dowel holes are
drilled on adjacent faces, they will intersect and you will need to insert 2" dowels into the holes on one
face and 1 ½" dowels into the holes on the other face. Be sure these have bottomed out completely in the
holes. Place some glue into the holes on the ends of the apron pieces and assemble the base of the bench.
To apply clamping pressure, use the off-cuts from the legs that you had set aside earlier and place them
over the curves so that you have a square surface to clamp to. To keep the legs open and parallel as they
are clamped, cut some spacers to the same dimensions as the aprons and set them between the bottom
edges of the legs. As I mentioned, cedar is very soft and if there are any saw marks or ridges on the off-
cuts, the clamping pressure will transfer these to the sanded faces of the legs. Place some form of gasket
material between the two surfaces to prevent this; I keep a roll of sill gasket on hand for these occasions
but the thin foam packing film that surrounds electronics in transit will also work for this purpose. When
the glue in the base has set, turn it upside down on the inverted top and use the Z-Clips to fasten the base
to the top.
You’re bound to get a lot of great compliments over this project, and hints about upcoming birthdays and
anniversaries, so you might want to consider making several at a time.
