Modern cabinet work, furniture & fitments; an account of the theory & practice in the production of all kinds of cabinet work & furniture with chapters on the growth and progress of design and construction; illustrated by over 1000 practical workshop drawings, photographs & original designs . \xw«to rmrmnTrTi A Chest of Drawers with Shaped Plinths. Bookcases (see next page). The example on next page is a typical bookcase regarding general pro-portions, although the arrangement of doors, &c, occasionally vary, such as,for instance, open glazed or barred doors in the bottom part, and a narrow friezein place of the drawer. The depth of book space, , the distance betweeninside of door and back, should never be less than 10 in., and this distance isfrequently increased to suit special requirements. There are four methodsemployed to support the adjustable shelves, one of which is illustrated on p. 143. Holes are bored in. deep at intervals of \\ in. inside both 142 MODERN CABINETWORK, FURNITURE, AND FITMENTS. CARCASE WORK M3 ends, and turned wooden studs (see f. I.) are inserted to support the ensure accurate spacing for these holes, set out the distances upon a slipof wood, gauge a centre line, and bore holes with a |-in. dowel bit (see f. II.).Glue a stop at each end, so that the slip may be placed on the carcase end andsecured with a small hand-screw, then bore through the holes. A stop is fixedto the dowel bit, so that all are bored equal depth. To prevent the shelvesslipping forward, the) can be hand-screwed together, and bored with a bit, andwhen separated semicircular cavities are left which drop over the head of stud(see f. III.). Another method of supporting shelves is with brass studs (see f. IV.);T\-in. holes are made in the ends as before, and the underside of shelf is boredto fit the circular head with a centre bit; when the shelf is in position, the under-side is quite flush.
