DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING

I Cutting and Squaring Stock--

Cut the stock only as needed, in the following order, and square up according to the directions previously given.

1. Frame; rip the 1" 8" 12' piece for the frame material 2. Bottom 3. Ends and sides 4. Shelves 5. Top 6. Casing 7. Doors 8. Swing tops 9. Miscellaneous pieces

II a.s.sembling--

Frame:

1. Check up the dimensions of the pieces squared up for the frame.

2. Lay out and cut the lap joints in the top side rails and frame posts, as shown in the drawing.

3. Nail the frame together.

4. Test the corners of the frame with a steel try-square and brace it by nailing, temporarily, several strips diagonally across the corners.

Bottom:

1. Cut seven pieces of flooring 32-1/2" long for the bottom and plane off the groove of one piece.

2. Turn the frame upside down and nail this piece with the smooth edge projecting 7/8" over the front side of the frame. Nail the rest of the flooring so that each piece matches tightly.

Ends:

1. For the back, cut eleven pieces of ceiling 31-1/4" long.

2. Plane off the groove edge of one piece of ceiling and nail it on the back of the frame even with the end. 3. Nail the rest of the ceiling on the back. Be sure that each joint matches tightly.

[Ill.u.s.tration: _Fig._ 35.--Frame of cabinet nailed together]

Shelves:

1. Make four strips (3/4" 3/4" 16-1/2") and nail two of them inside, across each end, 15" and 24" from the bottom. These strips hold the shelves.

2. From a 1" 12" piece cut two pieces 32-1/2" long; fit and nail them in for the upper shelf.

3. Make the bottom shelf of two pieces, one 10-1/4" wide and the other 8" wide. When these boards are nailed in place, the shelf is narrow enough to allow the doors, with pockets on, to close.

4. Make two strips; one 13-16" 1" 16-1/2" and the other 13-16"

1-3/4" 20-1/2", and nail them to the top shelf for drawer guides.

Top:

1. Cut eight pieces of flooring 36" long for the top.

2. Plane off the groove of one piece and nail it on the top of the frame, so that the smooth edge and the ends project 1" over the front side and ends of the cabinet.

3. Nail the rest of the flooring on for the top, being sure that each joint matches tightly. The last piece must also project 1" over the back side.

Casing:

1. Nail the casing, which is 1-3/4" wide, on the front of the cabinet.

Doors:

1. Make each door 3/4" 14-3/8" 22-7/8" from five pieces of ceiling 22-7/8" long, held together by cleats at the top and bottom.

2. Fit each door carefully, then hang them with b.u.t.t hinges. Fasten a cupboard catch on each door.

Drop Door:

1. Make the drop door 13-16" 14-3/8" and hinge it with a pair of b.u.t.t hinges. Put on the stopper chain and catch. Swing Tops:

The swing tops are each made from six pieces of flooring 24" long cleated together.

[Ill.u.s.tration: _Fig_. 36.--Working details]

1. Plane off the groove edge of one piece and match them all together.

2. Make the cleats 3/4" 2" 15" and nail the top to them. (See the drawing for the position of the cleats.)

3. Rip off the tongue edge and plane it so that the top is exactly 18"

wide.

4. Turn the cabinet upside down on the floor and fit the swing tops.

Hang them with a pair of b.u.t.t hinges opposite the ends of the cleats.

5. Make a T-brace with a nailed cross lap joint from two pieces, one being 13-16" 2" 14", the other 13-16" 2" 16-1/2". The long edge of the T and the leg must be bevelled 13-16" on one side. Fit and hang a T-brace with a pair of b.u.t.t hinges on each side of the swing tops.
