Woodworking for beginners; a manual for amateurs . s often thecase.

At the same time you must guardagainst winding by sighting across the face, and the angles mustbe tested with the square. The clamping together is important insuch work. This can be done by laying the frame flat, nailingstrips a short distance outside of each of the four corners, anddriving in wedges between these strips and the frame until thejoints are firmly held (Fig. zZli)- This can also be done byputting blocks at the corners and passing a doubled cord around,which, by inserting a stick, can be twisted until the frame is heldtightly. But making mitred frames of moulding is not suitablework for the beginner and should be deferred until you have hadsome experience (see Mitring),. Furniture 217 For a plain frame nothing is better than a joint with mortiseand tenon (Fig. 334), the rabbet (see Rabbet) at the back beingcut through to the ends of the shorter pieces (those having thetenons), but being stopped be-fore reaching the ends of thelonger pieces (those having themortises), as shown. The lat-ter should be got out too long,so as to overlap a little at theends (Fig. 334). This enablesyou to take the frame apartmore readily when fitting, andwith less danger of injury tothe work. The projecting endscan be sawed off after theframe has been glued together(see Mortising^ Gluing^ andClamps). The final planingand smoothing of the frontsurface and the edges shouldbe done after the frame isglued together, careful at-tention being paid to the di- ^^ ^^^^rection of the grain (see Plane, Scraper^ and Sandpaper). After a frame of this kind is all done, an inner moulding witha row of beads, or some other simple form, can ea
