DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING
I Cutting and Squaring Stock--
Cut the stock only as needed, in the following order, and square up
according to the directions previously given.
1. Frame; rip the 1" x 8" x 12' piece for the frame material
2. Bottom
3. Ends and sides
4. Shelves
5. Top
6. Casing
7. Doors
8. Swing tops
9. Miscellaneous pieces
II Assembling--
Frame:
1. Check up the dimensions of the pieces squared up for the frame.
2. Lay out and cut the lap joints in the top side rails and frame posts,
as shown in the drawing.
3. Nail the frame together.
4. Test the corners of the frame with a steel try-square and brace it by
nailing, temporarily, several strips diagonally across the corners.
Bottom:
1. Cut seven pieces of flooring 32-1/2" long for the bottom and plane
off the groove of one piece.
2. Turn the frame upside down and nail this piece with the smooth edge
projecting 7/8" over the front side of the frame. Nail the rest of the
flooring so that each piece matches tightly.
Ends:
1. For the back, cut eleven pieces of ceiling 31-1/4" long.
2. Plane off the groove edge of one piece of ceiling and nail it on the
back of the frame even with the end. 3. Nail the rest of the ceiling on
the back. Be sure that each joint matches tightly.

Shelves:
1. Make four strips (3/4" x 3/4" x 16-1/2") and nail two of them inside,
across each end, 15" and 24" from the bottom. These strips hold the
shelves.
2. From a 1" x 12" piece cut two pieces 32-1/2" long; fit and
nail them in for the upper shelf.
3. Make the bottom shelf of two pieces, one 10-1/4" wide and the other
8" wide. When these boards are nailed in place, the shelf is narrow
enough to allow the doors, with pockets on, to close.
4. Make two strips; one 13-16" x 1" x 16-1/2" and the other 13-16" x
1-3/4" x 20-1/2", and nail them to the top shelf for drawer guides.
Top:
1. Cut eight pieces of flooring 36" long for the top.
2. Plane off the groove of one piece and nail it on the top of the
frame, so that the smooth edge and the ends project 1" over the front
side and ends of the cabinet.
