A small drawer can be fitted to one of the small compartments, as in Fig. 297 (see Drawers). If the edges of the doors are made to lap slightly where they come together, rabbets being cut on opposite sides of the edges (Fig. 298), the joint will be tighter, but a little space must be allowed or the doors may bind. The rest of the details are like those of the cases already described.
See end of introduction to this chapter for directions about smoothing, putting together, and finishing. See also Scraper, Sandpaper, and Finishing, in Part. V.
Bookcases.—A plain case (Fig. 299) can be made of any desired size. If quite small ¾" stock can be used, but ordinarily 7/8" thickness will be best. The method of construction is practically the same as in the cases already described.
