Date Blocks
Basic Description Here is a free plan for an remarkably simple yet classic date display. The two cubes make a perfect desk item to help you remember what day of the month it is. It turns out that you can display all of the days of a month (one to thirty-one) with only two blocks even though each of the blocks only has six faces. Read on to see how this works and for additional ideas such as a month display. In this plan, we show you how to carve the numbers into wood, but as described in the design considerations section at the end, you could also paint or apply the numbers onto the blocks.


step:           4        



Once the glue is dry, you can unclamp the cubes. Check to make sure that your disc sander is square to the table and sand the faces flat and make sure that all the surfaces are square to eachother and that you maintain equal dimensions on all sides.
