If this is properlydone, the panel will have a thickness of f^ ata distance of half an inch from the edge, andwill just fit inthe groove asshown in Fig. this Figure,the shading,which has beenintroduced once. ScaZe ^/i before in Fig. 63, c, indicates a cross-section,fine ruled lines being generally used formetal, and somewhat coarser free-hand linesfor wood. Do not drive the panel in if itfits tight, but ease it carefully till it entersfreely without looseness. The flat side is tobe turned towards the front of the frame. The frame of the door has been madethicker than it ought to be, in order to lessenthe risk of splitting the stiles while makingthe mortises. It may now be taken apart and Wood - Working. 171 finished to a proper thickness. This is notthe course that a skilled workman would take,nor that which you will follow hereafter insuch cases. Setting your gauge at i^\ make amark on both edges of each piece at thatdistance from the front. Then, setting it atljQ^\ make a second mark at this distancefrom the front. Plane the faces exactly tothese marks. The thickness of the frame willthen be reduced to 1jq^\ and the groove willbe l^\ from the front, and y
