Music-Case.—The construction of the form shown in Fig. 307 is like that of the examples already shown. The sides, top, and bottom should be of ¾" or 7/8" stock, but the shelves can be thinner.
Fig. 307.
Before beginning work read carefully Marking, Rule, Square, Saw, Plane, in [Part V]., and look up any other references.
This case can be simply nailed together (see Nailing and Nail-set), but the more workmanlike way is to groove the bottom shelf into the sides and the sides into the top, as in the cases already shown (see Grooving).
A moulding at the top can be made as in the bookcase shown in Fig. 304.
For various ways of putting in the shelves, see Shelves, in [Part V].
The back can be thinner (¼") and should be fitted in a rabbet cut around, as already shown in the illustrations.
