3. Nail the rest of the flooring on for the top, being sure that each
joint matches tightly. The last piece must also project 1" over the back
side.
Casing:
1. Nail the casing, which is 1-3/4" wide, on the front of the cabinet.
Doors:
1. Make each door 3/4" x 14-3/8" x 22-7/8" from five pieces of ceiling
22-7/8" long, held together by cleats at the top and bottom.
2. Fit each door carefully, then hang them with butt hinges. Fasten a
cupboard catch on each door.
Drop Door:
1. Make the drop door 13-16" x 14-3/8" and hinge it with a pair of butt
hinges. Put on the stopper chain and catch. Swing Tops:
The swing tops are each made from six pieces of flooring 24" long
cleated together.
[Illustration: _Fig_. 36.--Working details]
1. Plane off the groove edge of one piece and match them all together.
2. Make the cleats 3/4" x 2" x 15" and nail the top to them. (See the
drawing for the position of the cleats.)
3. Rip off the tongue edge and plane it so that the top is exactly 18"
wide.
4. Turn the cabinet upside down on the floor and fit the swing tops.
Hang them with a pair of butt hinges opposite the ends of the cleats.
5. Make a T-brace with a nailed cross lap joint from two pieces, one
being 13-16" x 2" x 14", the other 13-16" x 2" x 16-1/2". The long edge
of the T and the leg must be bevelled 13-16" on one side. Fit and hang a
T-brace with a pair of butt hinges on each side of the swing tops.
6. Make two brace cleats and fasten them to the ends of the cabinet, so
that the swing tops are held level and even with the top of the cabinet.
Putting Zinc on the Top:
1. Unscrew the swing tops from the cabinet to put the zinc on.
2. Place the piece of zinc, 27" x 39", on top, extending 1-1/2" over the
edges all around.
3. Hold the zinc firmly in place and make a square bend along the front
edge with a hammer or mallet, bending the edge of the zinc up under the
top.
4. Punch a straight row of holes 1" apart through the zinc and tack it
on.
5. Bend the back edge, punch and tack in the same manner as the front
edge, but be sure the zinc fits snugly on the top.
6. Bend the ends of the zinc the same as before, but be very careful to
fold the corners neatly.
7. Put the zinc on the swing tops in the same manner.
8. Fasten the swing tops again to the top of the cabinet.

Drawer:
The drawer front, 13-16" x 5" x 14-3/8", with lap 3/8" x 1/2" cut out on
the ends.
1. Nail the sides, 1/2" x 5" x 19-5/8", to the lap of the front and to
the ends of the back.
2. Nail the bottom in between the sides 1/8" from the lower edge. This
allows the drawer to slide on the edges of the sides.
3. Put the partitions in the drawer as called for by this plan.
