Furniture for the craftsman; a manual for the student and machanic. notches, or a form similar represented in Fig. 255, on whichthe two strips are given the half circle notches by clampingthem edge to edge together, and boring at intervals 13^in. holesalong the line of joint. The supporting strips are then roundedon ends to closely fit the strips when fastened on the inside ofends. Several pigeon holes and a drawer for writing materials may befitted within the writing desk portion confined to the width ofthe case only and suspended 5 or b in. above the writing table, ofwhich the slant cover shown when drawn out level gives thegreatest surface. The under drawer may be arranged to sup-port this lid in a writing position by drawing it out, or the lidmay have an elbow metal joint fitted to both sides closing in outof view with the cover. The form of construction in general use for such structures asFigs. 25 I A, 252 and 253, as well as most all case work, is to buildin the outside against a made-up framing indicated in Fig. 256. BOOKCASES AND HOLDERS 259. Fig. 256.—Showing Panel Back. The material used for the back is of an inferior wood, and the thickness commonly used for the framing is 13-16 in. for the stiles and rails, which, after being mortised and tenoned, are grooved out from end to end on the inner edges, into which, in setting up the framing, yg-in. bass or whitewood panels are slid, forming a quickly made and very light backing to all classes of construction. The ends of paneled framing are treated to a long tenon to fit coreresponding groove in posts. One or more 13-16 in. stiles should be grooved in properly spaced frames of considerable width, as shown in back of Fig. 251. This gives rigidity and prevents wide panels of cheaper wood from warping and shrinking into open cracks. In chiffoniers and dressers having considerable depth, thesides are built after the same manner as the back. The book-case, however, does not require any greater width than aver
