A WALL CASE WITH A MIRROR DOOR
The wall case shown in the accompanying picture will serve well as a medicine case. Having a paneled door in which is set a mirror, it serves equally well as a shaving case. It is best made of some hard wood, though a soft wood such as pine or yellow poplar will work up easier and look well finished with three or four coats of white enamel paint.
There will be needed the following pieces:
- 2 sides, 5/8 by 6 by 32-1/2 in., S-4-S.
- 1 top and 1 bottom, 5/8 by 6 by 18 in., S-4-S.
- 1 top of back, 1/2 by 4 by 16-1/4 in., S-2-S.
- 1 bottom of back, 1/2 by 3 by 16-1/4 in., S-4-S.
- 1 shelf, 5/8 by 5 by 16 in., S-4-S.
- 1 back, 1/4 by 16 by 21 in., S-2-S.
DOOR
- 2 stiles, 5/8 by 3 by 20-1/2 in., S-4-S.
- 1 top rail, 5/8 by 2 by 11 in., S-4-S.
- 1 bottom rail, 5/8 by 4 by 11 in., S-4-S.
- 1 backing for door, 3/16 by 10 by 15 in., S-2-S.
First shape the ends of the two side pieces as shown in the drawing. Next square the top and bottom pieces of the case to size, and lay out and cut the tenons on the ends. Lay out and cut the mortises in the side pieces, also the groove for the shelf, having first squared the shelf to size. Cut and shape the top and bottom pieces of the back as shown. Cut the rebates in the side pieces into which these pieces are to rest their ends. Cut the rebate for the back. Thoroughly scrape and sandpaper these parts and assemble them.
