A BOOKCASE WITH GLAZED DOORS
The Design.—This is to be an upright bookcase, with five shelves and an overhanging top. Some variety of surface is afforded by the arrangement of the sash, as indicated in the drawing. The shelves are made to be adjustable, and not fixed as in other problems.

Materials and Tools.—The stock required for one bookcase of this pattern is as follows: two end pieces 7⁄8 × 111⁄2 × 481⁄2 inches; for the top and bottom, two pieces 7⁄8 × 12 × 40 inches; four shelves 7⁄8 × 11 × 40 inches; for the sides of the doors, four pieces 7⁄8 × 2 × 45 inches; for the top and bottom rails of the doors, four pieces 7⁄8 × 21⁄2 × 18 inches; for the middle rail, one piece 7⁄8 × 2 × 18 inches; for the sash, one piece 7⁄8 × 1⁄2 inch × 6 feet; for the back, enough 1⁄2 inch stock to cover the space 38 × 46 inches. In addition to this there will be required four hinges, two catches, a lock, and glass for the sash as dimensioned in the drawing. It is not necessary, however, to cut the small lights. One large pane of glass may be set in the full width of the door so that the small sash divisions may be apparent rather than real.
The tools for this problem are the same as those used in previous problems with the addition of a 1⁄4-inch bit and 1⁄4-inch chisel, and a rabbet plane, or a universal plane for cutting out the rabbet for the glass.
