Assembling the Quarter Scale

Unpacking

Open your package. The padded envelope will be tightly packed, so you may need to tear it or cut it apart.

Carefully remove the tape from each piece to remove the piece. If any pieces are stuck together, pull them apart, and they should should pop apart (this is due to the shellac finish sticking).

There will also be a small tube of Super Glue.

Assembly

Start by placing the degrees arc flat on the table face up.

At this point we are not using any glue yet, just a dry fit.

Attach the small corner supports to the degrees arc like so:

The tenons (teeth) should fit snugly into the mortises (holes) in the arc.

If they are too tight, lightly sand them with some sandpaper and test the fit until they go all the way in.

Stick the narrow end of the arc that says “Bowling Quarter Scale” into the degrees arc.

Either end will fit, but it is important to use this end (where it says “.com”), because this narrower end will not obscure any of the degrees markings.

Place the inches arc against all of the teeth like so.

Press all of the tenons (teeth) from the corner supports and the middle arc into the openings of the inches arc.

The faces should be tight against each other, with no gaps.

If there are gaps in any of the joints, they need to be pressed together more closely.

If necessary, you may need to hold them together while gluing.

Once the whole quarter scale is assembled, add a small dab of glue on each joint, where the tenon is coming through the mortise.

Wipe off any excess glue.

Hold the pieces together while the glue sets, if you see the joints developing gaps.

For added strength, you can add a drop of glue on the reverse side of the joint as well.

Assembly is complete!
