To make the racks, make cuts in the sides of the blocks for glass 4 mm wide and deep. 2. For the upper and lower frames, saw the blocks at an angle of 45 degrees. When gluing, you will get a square of 145x145 mm. 3. To make the legs, saw out 2 cm thick triangles and glue them 1 cm into the side of the frames with PVA glue. 4. Drill 4 mm holes in the corners of the frames and in the ends of the racks. They are needed to connect all the elements into a single structure using dowels – a frame for a floral lamp.
