A shorter course in woodworking; a practical manual for home and school . Fig. 644 Fig 645 page 96.) A good form for a plain chest is shown in Fig. 645. The bottom can be fitted to a groove cut around on the inside. Care must be taken to test the angles with the square, and so guard against winding, in making a nice box, as with all framed work. If the bottom and top are got out accurately they will help to make the box square. With glued joints waste pieces should be placed over the joints (across the grain of the sides) to prevent thework being marred by the clampsand to distribute the press

The final smoothing of the outsideshould be done after the box hasbeen permanently put together, andplenty of time allowed for the glueto dry. The inside must, of course, be smoothed before putting together. Where several boards are required to cover the top or bottom of a large box, if you wish to have as few cracks as possible and to avoid the swelling and shrinking across the grain as much as you can, lay the boards lengthways, but if you merely wish
