. Practical taxidermy, and home decoration; together with general information for sportsmen. Taxidermy. MAKIKG -CASES. 155 at the ends between the outer corners of top and bottom. The round sides are turned inward, the flat bides being made to fit evenly with the corners of the case. Each side should be constructed as follows : Nail one strip the width of the molding, the full length of the edge of the back. Secure a second strip with dimensions of the first, on the side of the standard piece. Between these two strips at top and bottom, fit in and nail two pieces of wood, the required thickness and width, of the moldings. The front of the case is made mechanically, like the sides, by nailing on four Pour triangular pieces of wood an inch thick are glued on the outside corners on the top, and in the corners under the bottom, to keep the case from warping. A shoul- der, one-quarter of an inch wide, and the depth of the thickness of the glass, is made around the inner edges of the three openings of the case. This can be done with a rab- bet-plane before the parts are nailed, or chiselled out, after the case is fastened together. In fastening light wood-work, finishing nails and brads should be employed, as they hold well, and are not liable to split the material in driving. Moldings of two sizes are used on the top and bottom of the case. The outer molding may be solid or " sprung," and should be fastened from the inside of the case. The inner and smallest mold- ing is fastened from the outside, after the glass is secured. In the process of fitting, a sharp, clean cutting saw and miter-box will greatly assist in making close joints. The.
