[DOLL'S BED.]
The bed illustrated in [Plate 40], is suitable for the ordinary size doll, 16" to 18" in length.
The four legs should first be cut, the two long ones being 7/8" × 7/8" × 12" and the two short ones 7/8" × 7/8" × 9-1/4".
These should be planed up square and smooth and the top edges chamfered 1/16", as shown.
The two side rails are next made 3/8" × 2-1/2" × 20-1/2".
The four cross rails, two on the head board and two on the foot board, are made 1/2" × 7/8" × 8-3/4".
Seven slats are next made 3/8" × 1-1/4" × 8".
Two long supporting slats, on which the seven slats previously made rest, are now made 3/8" × 1" × 19-1/4".
Three upright slats are now made for the head board, two being 3/8" × 1-3/4" × 8", and one 3/8" × 3" × 8". Three similar slats are made for the foot board, two 3/8" × 1-3/4" × 5-1/4" and one 3/8" × 3" × 5-1/4".
Seven holes should be carefully bored where the cross rails and legs are joined. Use a small drill about 1/8" in diameter.
