The wood button, shown on the drawing for the Size A ironing board ([Plate 22]), is attached to this cleat and prevents the board from collapsing.
All pieces should be thoroughly sandpapered with No. 1/2 sandpaper before being assembled.
No further finish is necessary.
[DOLL'S CLOTHES RACK.]
This folding clothes rack is an interesting toy and requires some skill in assembling. ([Plate 25].)
Playing House is real fun with such a dolls' clothes rack, ironing board, wash bench, table and stepladder.
The four legs are cut 3/8" × 3/4" × 13" and each end is rounded by first striking semicircles on the ends, using a 3/8" radius, and then finishing with a chisel carefully to the line.
Holes are bored in these legs with a 1/4" bit in the following places: 3/8" from the top, 4-7/8" beyond this, 3-1/4" beyond this, and 1-3/4" beyond this. Extreme care must be taken not to split the wood. Bore through from one side until the spur of the bit just starts to come through, then remove the bit and bore back from the other side.
