WRITING DESK.
Use the kind of box suggested for the bookcase.
1. Cut the cover the right height for the desk.
2. Fit in the box, and slide it up or down until it seems right in proportions, as in making the dresser.
3. Mark where it is to be cut off. Cut and fasten the parts together.
4. Study the picture; then cut the top and slanting sides.
5. Shape the legs. Fasten the “drawer” with “knobs.”
6. Fit and fasten in the extra cardboard so that it projects and forms the writing shelf.
7. Use the other end of the box for the inside shelves. Cut these narrow and fit them carefully. Real pigeon holes can be made by cutting up penny-in-the-slot caramel boxes, and gluing them into place.
8. Paint to match furniture. Glue a piece of blotter on the writing shelf.
