. Cedar chests, how to make them. Fig. 24 DESIGN NO. 5 In Fig. 24 is shown a chest whose design permits it to be used as awindow seat when covered with a cushion. Its appearance is very at-tractive as it has heavy, massive ends, giving it an air of solidity. Theends can be built up flush, as the drawing, Fig. 23, illustrates, or f strip is glued to the front edge of the top, making it appear to be asthick as the ends. The drawings illustrate copper plates on the front,but, if good work is accomplished, these may well be omitted. 1 ^ * tU> o ? r - i- jy -1 G [— -f- L 1 1^ 1 0 - £ ^

Fig. 26 DESIGN NO. 6 A paneled chest, Figs. 25 and 26, looks well when accurate work hasbeen done. It, of course, means a great deal of mortising and routing, but,where power machines are available, does not consume a great amount oftime. A chest built up as previously described with i strips glued on willgive the same effect. A study of both drawings will make the constructionclear to the average student.
