You will note that the lumber room is at one end of the first wing, the varnishing room in the same position on the other wing, and the tools are placed so as to permit of consecutive operation from start to finish, thereby saving time in retracing steps and re- handling material. A combination rip and cross-cut saw comes first; next in line, a 24-inch joiner to get one side of the plank true and out of wind; then the planer, to reduce to the required thickness —notice that the band and jig saws are next in line; then the segment machine and various lathes. In placing machines pay particular attention to "; A cross-cut saw must admit of one foot being sawn off from either end of a 16-foot plank without collision with another tool, operation or workman. A jointer or rip saw must allow for working up to 16 feet long and 24 inches wide under similar conditions. A large cast-iron surface plate is very handy for starting frames, housings or any large work which must be absolutely level. I believe the hand or bench trimmer is a det- riment to rapid work, and I have had as many as fifty in operation, only to be finally aban- doned. A better device is the power face-plate with plain angle gage. I cannot name the best tools, of course, but some of the best ad- vertised saws, lathes, etc, are unsatisfactory. There is no good pattern-making glue pot on the market. I have designed a twin steam pot which is all right if connected with a sewer to draw away the product of condensation ; it is operated by live steam and admits of one pot being used on a job or on the bench without the cooling of the other, an important trifle. A segment machine is a great time-saver. A boy at $ per day will "lay up" and glue 100 courses of six segmen
