If you wish to make this kind, study Afortising, in Partv., and lay out and cut the mortise in the leg before nailing the cross-board toit (Figs. 41 and 42). This is the most difficult part of the bench to makenicely, and you can sjiend a good deal of pains upon it. If you have not yetthe proper tools to make this mortise you can mark it out and have it cut for avery small sum at a wood-working mill or shop. \Vhen nailing the cross-boardupon the legs, bear in mind to put this leg in the right place. Fig. 58 showsa simjile arrangement with an additional post, or two posts can be put togetherand one half the notching done in each (Fig. 59). The Workshop 69. Fig, 60. Carpenters often nail a piece on the side of the bench (Fig. 60),which holds boards for planing fairly well, for common work, buttends to bruise the ends of the boards a little against the cleat,and requires a knife,or something, drivenin at the other end ofthe boards to holdthem with any degreeof security. Anothercheap substitute isshown in Fig. holds boards of regular sizes quite well. Thin pieces canbe held tighter by wedging, as shown. Another sim-ple contrivance,and more of avise, is easilymade by boringa couple ofholesin aboard,say 6 wide and12 long, and screwing it loosely to the side of the bench (Fig. 62), makingthe holes in the board larger than the diameter of the screws so that it will be free ;p— _ to play.
