  1. 1Make Cuts

    Start by making all the cuts in the cut list.

  2. 2Route Dish

    Using a palm router, or a Kreg routing table, route out an accessories dish in the base. Mark 1" in from three sides of the base, then 4" in from the short side. Draw out your rectangle and route out the dish 1/4" deep. If not using a routing table, use a clamp on the Kreg Mobile Project Center to hold the base in place.

  3. 3Route Base Edge

    Clean up the outside edge of your base by rounding the edge with a palm router or routing table. Then sand the entire base.

  4. 4Cut Out Pegs

    • Mark 1/2" in from either edge of the short side of each out peg, then draw 45 degree lines to the outside.
    • Cut these corners off with a saw.
    • Then sand smooth for a rounded point.

  7. 7Add Pocket Hole Plugs

    Put a drop of wood glue into each hole, then add pocket hole plugs. Let dry, then saw smooth with a flush trim saw. (You may have to do two holes on each watch rack, then do the other two after you've sawn off the first two since the holes are close together.)
