Barge Board.—First determine on the thickness your board is to be, and then let the paper for it be pressed closer together than that used for ordinary work; carefully draw the pattern, and cut out with knife No. 3, splaying the tracery with knives Nos. 1 and 2, and smoothing with an ivory or agate burnisher.
BARGE BOARD.
Buttress.—If they are to a large scale, say quarter-inch, one foot, they are best boxed out; the angles carefully and accurately mitred. Less scale, they may be boxed out of double thickness, as described for chimney shafts; or, if very small size, they may be cut from the solid.
SIDE VIEW.
FRONT VIEW.
Balustrade.—Model the capping as described for cornices, with the exception, this will be worked upon both faces.
Blocking.—To a cornice. This, if large, is best constructed by being boxed out. If small in size, cut them out of the solid.
Bracket.—Brackets in Gothic work are to be constructed in layers, in a similar manner as described for cornices; other brackets may be cut from the solid paper, first by making a pattern, or template, in thin tea lead, or sheet copper, and marking round the edge upon the paper, uniformity of size being thus ensured.
