Before you begin assembly, please make sure you have someone to help you, as well as the following items: a screwdriver, a hammer, a box cutter, a 10mm socket, a 10mm wrench, a segment of your shipping box, and a segment of your shipping foam.
1: Place the round magnet into the “Leaf Support L” pre-drilled magnet hole and hammer the magnet into place.
2: Take the two leaf support hinges, four screws, and a screwdriver. Attach the hinges to the leaf support within the predrilled holes of “Leaf Support L”.
3: Take a stick-on rubber tab and press the tab into place on the top of “Leaf Support L”. Make sure the tab is on the opposite edge from the magnet.
4: Rotate the cabinet gently onto its back. Without touching the front piece, rotate the cabinet onto its feet (the front piece will be more secure when the cabinet top is attached).
5: Take the bag containing 1/4-inch carriage bolts, wing nuts, and washers, and install the carriage bolts through the pre-drilled holes in “Back F” and “Back Brace G”.
6: Take “Lift Panel K” with the Airlift attached and slide the unit onto the carriage bolts. Before proceeding, please make sure that the tops of the two panels are level.
7: Put a washer and wing nut onto each carriage bolt and tighten them. Before you tighten them all the way, hammer the carriage bolts into the back plate to remove any gaps. Now tighten the washers all the way.
8: Take the washer and screw from the magnet bag and install each piece in the predrilled hole on “Left Panel Side C”.
9: Take “Leaf Support L” and the four screw remaining from the hinge bag. Attach “Leaf Support L” to the cabinet by securing the screws within hinges and predrilled holes.
10: To install the top of the cabinet, take parts A and B with the four connecting bolts in place and secure it to the cabinet top. Make sure the flat side is facing the back and the rounded decorative edge is facing the front so that your leaf will open the correct direction. Tighten the connectors from inside the cabinet.
11: Open the leaf support panel and open the leaf. Remove the universal panel to complete the next step.
12: With two people, turn the cabinet on its back and then topside down while one person carefully supports the leaf.
13: Take “Platform J”. Make sure the cream sewing surface is facing down and the curved cut-out is facing the back. Slide it under the lift into the opening.
Optional: To make the next steps easier, insert the styrofoam cut out under the cabinet top back edge for better visibility.
14: Install the metal wings onto the airlift using the eight 6mm hex head bolts, nuts, and washers within the same bag (there will be four bolts per wing). Place the wings on the inside of the airlift with the flange facing the outside. For now, install each bolt loosely. If you used the foam insert, please remove it before the next step.
15: Using your box cutter and shipping box panel, cut out 8-10 cardboard squares to use as shims. Shim “Platform J” into place so that it fits evenly within the cabinet.
16: With the remaining #8 1/2-inch pen head screws, securely attach the wings to “Platform J” with a screw into the predrilled holes.
17: While the second person is holding “Platform J” in place, tighten the hex head bolts.
18: With the help of a second person, turn the cabinet onto its back, and then onto its feet while supporting the leaf.
19: To attach the cabinet door, take the three hinges and 12 screws. Attach the hinges to the door first in the predrilled holes. Attach the door to the cabinet. A second person may be needed to hold the door while attaching the hinges in place.

Machining A Replacement Pulley With A Keyway, by Clickspring.
In this video, I machine a replacement pulley for my 1″ Delta belt sander. This is a perfect mini lathe project, with some interesting turning between centers, as well as the formation of a keyway using the lathe as a manual shaper.
Be sure to use breathing protection whenever using heat to break a super glue bond.
You can download the dimensioned drawing for this particular pulley for free from the Clickspring website:
