bookend. 1b make it functional, a
plate isadded lo the bottom orthe
base
to
complete the
-1
shape.
One end of t his plate is co vered by
th e books. The IIlhel' en d is re
cessed into the
base.
MATER 1 ,1.. The trick. of
course. is
l< J
m ake the plate Lhin
enough
to Slil) under the book .
After trying several materials, I
settled on two: plastic laminate
and I-l-gauge sheet brass, see
Sol l l < lc page 24.
RECESS BASE.
No matter
\\ 'hi~_hmaterial is used, it t easier
locullhe recess
first
and then cut
the plate to
fit
the recess.
S.I:. I'OEPTH.
To
do
this,
use
aVo
(or
1 3 I J 1 ; e r
straight. or mortising
bit in
th~ ,uter table.
Adju5lthe
router so the bil sticks up above
the
table the
thickness of
the
plate.
see
Fig. 4.
S~ I' FENCE. Then to rout the
''
x 3 recess. I set up the router
table using the fence and two stop
blocks. 1b establish the length of the ....-
cessset the fence2 awa~'f,'Omthe far sid~
ofthe bit, see Fig. 5.
S ' 'STOPS. Then stops are used to con
trol the width, I elampedplywoodscraps to
the
router
table so their edges were4
front
either side of
lh e
bit.. Then. I
routed
the
recess, w;ing the fence and stops to c(J1I1 . r01
the limits of the cuts

CU'.AN UP CORNER s. AlWr the ree'( S. e

on woodworking. I realized I
needed some bookend, tomaintain
order. That, when it dawned on
me how scarce really good
bookends are.
ry e _
lot.s
of
good JI okiI l IJ
bookends, But. there's more to a
good
bookend than
good
looks. It
has a h ro \ )

and
has
to b E desiJmed to ho ld up .
NOT A MATTEROF MASS
N o m auer how big the books a re. a
b oo ke nd d oe sn 't have
to be
mns
sive to do it>;job.Design. not bulk.
is the key. The trick is
\0
let the
books supply the weight to hold
themselves up.
The easiest w~IY to make a
bookend that work.~ is t.o evaluate
why typical bookends - both
heavyweight.< and lightweight>;
falldown 01 1 the job.

Bookends lhat
