Cross-planing is allowable on red cedar on account of the knots,but be very careful not to rip up deep grooves. When planed as nearly ^o^y to build a simple chest 25 flat as possible, scrape with a sharp cabinet scraper. This should not beheld in the hand, but should be used in a scraper plane. Scraping shouldremove all rough spots from the wood. Finally, sandpaper the entire surface with Xo. li sandpaper, andfinish with Xo. 0. SQUARIXG UP Cut these pieces to dimensions and square them up as has alreadybeen described for the mill-glued stock. Pieces that have been rippedfrom the edo-es should be Fig. 13 ASSEMBLIXG Fig. 14 illustrates various joints used in chest construction. With thesimple design taken as our model in this chapter, we will employ the plainbutt, nailing the pieces together with 8d finishing nails. It will be noticed from the working drawing that the sides are nailedonto the ends. To prevent splitting, a number of small holes should firstbe drilled through the sides. Apply glue to the ends before driving thenails in place. When the sides and ends have been assembled, cut a stick the length JOINTS U6LD IN PLAIN-bUTT DADO AND R^AbbLT
