*** The most difficult part of this model is that shaded in Fig. 1, which requires special attention and care.
No. 21. Hanging Pegs or Rack.
(Requiring [Exercises] 5, 7, 12, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 26, 13, 18, 4, 26, 37, 29, 35, 39, 40, and 42.)
From Deal cut out two pieces, one 18 in. long, 31⁄2 in. wide, and 7⁄8 in. thick; the other 15 in. long, 1 in. wide, and 7⁄8 in. thick.
Commencing with the larger piece, plane one side and one edge at right angles. Then gauge-mark to a width of 3 in., and plane the rough edge down to that mark. At the centre of the width draw a line from end, as shown in Fig. 1, f to f. On that line, with compasses, mark the points indicated by a, b, c, of Fig. 1 of the [drawings No. 21]. At each point drill a 5⁄8 in. hole right through, taking great care to drill vertically. With the square, draw the cross lines at d d, the intersections with the central line forming additional central points. Set compasses to a radius of 7⁄8 in., and, from each of those central points, describe a semicircle as shown in the Fig.; then from each of the same central points describe an outer semicircle as also shown in the Fig. With tenon saw make a nick at each of the four points g, in each case reaching to the outer of the semicircles, each nick being strictly at right angles. Then, with turning saw, follow the line of each of the outer semicircles. Then dress the edges all round with chisel and file as required. Then gauge-mark all round for a thickness of 3⁄4 in., and plane the rough side down to the mark, evenly throughout. Gauge-mark all round for the chamfer, in the proportion shown in Fig. 1, and chamfer to the mark accordingly, using the plane for the sides and the knife for the curves and corners. File throughout where necessary, and finish with sand-paper.
