One of the things to be avoided in designing details is the ex- pense of making molder and shaper knives, unless it is absolutely necessary, for this is one of the acute expenses of the custom or odd work shop. Another thing to be kept in mind in designing and de- tailing is to keep within the standard sizes as much as possible, ex- cept in the hardwoods, where it generally takes about an inch in width to straighten up the stock for long jambs, casings, base- boards and the like. One can get a 5%-'m. jamb out of a 6-in. board if it is not too crooked, but to get a full 6-in. head casing requires an 8-in. board. If the lumber to be used is quarter-sawed, it is liable to be badly curved edgewise in the drying, and so show a great deal more waste in getting out long stuff than the flat-grained lumber. Perhaps the function of details is as important in getting out the stock or cutting as it is in finishing or putting the work together, but the value of details in this respect depends largely upon the way the cutting bills are made, and the means furnished the yard man and the cutter to identify the items and to show the extent to which defects in the lumber may be used. Jt is surely flying in the face of Providence nbw-a-days to bill out so many pieces so thick, so wide and so long without any quali- fying remarks, unless the stuff has to be absolutely clear. And
