A SMOKERS' SET
A smokers' set makes a very useful birthday gift or Christmas present and is not hard to make. All the principles involved in the making have been worked out in other problems that have been given. The set consists of five pieces: a large tray, a tobacco jar, match safe, cigar box, and ash tray.
Tray
Large tray (copper or brass) oblong: This design shows a large oblong tray with handles sawed out of the sheet metal, not riveted as the handles were on the large serving tray. Draw the design for this tray on a sheet of paper. Mark out the handles like those in the picture. Place the pattern on the copper or brass sheet, and cut out the outline according to the drawing. The handles are not sawed out until the tray has been shaped up and finished. This tray is made out of a piece of No. 20 copper or brass, and is 10 × 12 ins. With the dividers make a half-inch line on the four sides of the sheet as shown by the dotted lines in the sketch. Place this sheet in the vise, the dotted line even with the jaws of the vise. With the wooden peg, drive the sides up as you did the small square tray. Drill the holes in the slot and saw out for the hand-holds. File all around and finish.
MATCH SAFE
This design shows a very simple arrangement of a match safe holding a match box and a tray to catch the burnt matches.
Material: Copper or brass—No. 20, 5 × 5 ins., for the tray. No. 20, 13⁄4 × 5 ins., for the holder. No. 24, 1⁄2 × 3 ins., for the centre piece. No. 20, 1⁄8 × 51⁄2 ins., for the bar. No. 24, 11⁄2 × 2 ins., for the stem.
