Woodworking for beginners; a manual for amateurs . e other strip is then placeddirectly above and stout pins put through corresponding holesoutside of the work, which can then be wedged against the pinsin the way just shown.

This canonly be done where thereis room to swing the stickaround, as, for example,to tighten the rounds of achair by drawing the legstogether (Fig. 491).

Placethem on the bench or floor and spring in a board or pole betweenthe top of the upper block and a beam of the floor above, asshown. Of course this board must be a little longer than merely.
