Tip Alert: Figure 2: Full-Sized Patterns: Heart Core and Front/Back

1. The document provides instructions for making a heart-shaped core for a dispenser by drilling two aligned shaft holes in a wood blank clamped to a drill press fence, then bandsawing just outside the solid line of the core shape. 2. It then instructs to drill a blade-start hole through the core and remove waste from the core's middle, ensuring the dowel inserted through the shaft holes rotates freely by filing away any binding wood. 3. Finally, it mentions cutting a rotor to length for fitting in the core location and marking the edges of the arrowhead and feathers on the rotor dowel.
