Put these parts together, forming the frame of the sled (Fig. i5<^ Wood-Working for Beginners 241), driving a pin through each mortise and tenon and addingthe L irons shown in Figs. 241 and 242. The seat may be thinner than tlie runners, and is to be fittedbetween them and to be screwed to the cross-pieces (see Strmcs).The thickness of the stock for the seat must be borne in mindwhen laying out the mortises in the runners. Machine-planed stock is, of course, as smooth as is necessaryfor a sled, but smoothing by hand (see Plane^ Scraper^ and. Fig. 241.
