The trades of the Carpenter and the Joiner having been considered, we may now turn to that of the Cabinet Maker, who, though he makes the furniture of the house, and seldom has anything to do with building or fitting the house itself, uses many of the same tools as the joiner. [Illustration: Panel Plane. Veneer Plane. Smoothing Plane. Floats. Rebate Plane. Hand Saw. Rebate Plane.] As the Cabinet Maker mostly works in more costly woods, and the operations of his trade have to be performed with greater nicety, his implements are generally of rather a better sort; while he has to fashion the articles in which he deals in so many different shapes that some of his tools, such as _planes_ and _gouges_, are constructed especially for him, like the _panel plane_, used as its name implies in smoothing and forming the edges of panels for wardrobes, chiffoniers, and other pieces of furniture before they are placed in their frames, and the _veneer plane_, intended for putting on _veneers_, or the thin slabs of costly wood with which more common woods are frequently covered. The _smoothing plane_ and the _rebate plane_, as well as the _hand saw_, the _tenon saw_, the _gimlet_, and the _rule_ and _square_, have already been mentioned in connexion with the joiner’s business. Then there are moulding planes, with their blades shaped hollow so that they will cut a strip of wood into a rounded form, or shaped round so as to cut a hollow groove. [Illustration: Square. Hand Saw. Gimlet. Rule.] Sometimes boards are joined at the edges by a process called match boarding: a groove being made along the edge of one board while the edge of another is cut with a tongue along the middle to fit accurately into the groove. For this purpose a pair of match planes are used, one of which makes the groove and the other the tongue exactly of the proper size to fit perfectly. This kind of joint is used for common doors, which it is not worth while to frame together in panels. The boards after being _matched_ are nailed close together to strong cross-pieces. The operations of mortising and dovetailing have been described in the description of joiner’s work. The various fittings and joints used in making chairs, couches, tables, cabinets, side-boards, and other furniture are adaptations of the same kind, or differ only according to the shape and position of the various parts. In ornamental cabinet work the separate parts, such as pillars, legs, arms, and other pieces, are often supplied by the turner and the wood carver, who sometimes carry out their designs under the direction of the Cabinet Maker.
