A mark like a V as in Fig. 2 will designateboth working-face and some work the face side should bethe side which shows, as the top ofa table or the front side of a pictiire-frame; but the face sides ofthe legs of tables, chairs, etc., should be on the inside to ensureaccurate joints with the rails and other parts. ^ (Fig. 687.) In the sameway the joint-edges in such work as door-frames, etc., should be onthe inside. It is essential that all working-faces and joint-edgesshould be planed true in all cases where joints are formed. Operations of the same kind should be done at the same time sofar as possible. Lay out duplicate pieces together (Figs. 3 and 4), mark. Fig. 3 Fig. 4 If otherwise suitable, the concave side of a warped board is the best for the face side,because it is the best to plane first.

The Work-shop.—^A work-shop should be well lighted andproperly heated, and dry, lest the tools rust and the work be injuredby dampness. The floor should be of wood. Concrete is bad incase of dropping tools, and the dust from it is objectionable. It is an advantage to have windows on all sides of the shop. Inany case the worker when standing at his bench should face the lightand have it also on his left so that it may fall properly on his work. Except for childish work the only advantage of double benches forschool use is in saving space and expense. Each pupil should havehis own individual bench. (See page 80.) Separate benches, which may be of a cheaper quali
