The best wayto fasten such a box as that in Fig. 635 is with nails. Toeing the nailsadds strength. (See page 64.) To nail together, first mark the places forthe nails so that they will neither be too near the edge of the sides, nor bein danger of coming out through either side of the ends. Bore holes in thesides, and drive the nails until they just prick through. This will help inplacing the parts in position (Fig. 636). In hard wood it may be necessary.
