Steps1. Cut and Sand the PartsCut the 1×6 to size using the cut list provided. 'Knock down' the edges and corners using a sanding block. Sand the remaining sides of each block until smooth.
2. Apply the Wood GlueApply a bead of wood glue to the face of a 7-inch block along its bottom edge. Ensure the glue stays within ¾-inch of the bottom edge. Now press the back edge of a 4 ½ inch block onto the glue. Repeat on the second set.
3. Drill the Pilot HolesHolding the pieces square to one another, drill three pilot holes through the backer piece and into the back edge of the horizontal piece, as shown. Repeat on the second set.
4. Assemble the Wood BlocksTimber Bookstore SoftwareUsing a drill/driver, drive 1 ¼ inch wood screws through each of the pilot holes to hold the parts of each bookend firmly in place. If staining or painting, this is a good time to do so before the hardware is attached in the remaining steps.
5. Attach the L-bracketsWood Bookends With Resin InlayPlace two L-brackets 1 ½ inches from each edge of the backer boards and flush with the table. Drill a shallow pilot hole in through the hole in the bracket and into the backer board. Make sure not to drill through the thickness of the board. Insert the L-bracket screw into the pilot hole, and then tighten the screw using a drill/driver. Repeat on the second assembly.
6. Add the Rubber BumpersFlip each assembly upside down and stick a rubber bumper to each corner. These bumpers will prevent the bookends from slipping away from the books when in place.
7. Secure the OrnamentsWood Bookends SlideUsing a hot glue gun, secure the ornament to the surface of each bookend. If the ornament is made of wood, a set screw can be driven though the underside of the bookend for added strength.
