DIRECTIONS:
Mortise the two end pieces ¼”, to fit tenon. Nail the two
crosspieces, measuring (¾” × 1½” × 3”) to them. Make ¼” mortises
on the two top pieces (¾” × 3” × 3”). These mortises are made 3”
from the end and the two pieces nailed to crosspieces. Screw on
the bottom board (1” × 2½” × 12”) with 1½” No. 9 screws. Mortise
the 4 top and bottom pieces (¾” × 1½” × 30”) ½” from the top
and bottom and nail them lengthwise on the rack. The two middle
pieces (¾” × 1½” × 21”) are mortised and nailed 11” from the top
edge of the bottom piece. The upright pieces (¾” × 1½” × 20½”)
are nailed 9” from the left side. Nail the eight upright pieces
(½” × ½” × 26”) on each side with No. 4 box nails. The top piece
(¾” × 4½” × 33”) is nailed on the top of the rack. Sandpaper,
paint and enamel.

COAL BOX
The construction of this box is both simple and convenient, and it
requires little space in the room to accommodate it. There are four
compartments in it. The back is divided equally to provide places for
the kindling and paper; the front space is used for coal, and while it
makes it more durable to line it with metal, this is not necessary.
There is a narrow opening in the front in which the cleaning materials
are kept--polish, brush, and stove rags. Stain or paint will make the
coal box more attractive.
MATERIALS:
27½’ of poplar.

24 ¾” No. 8 screws for hinges.
