2. Make the cleats ¾" × 2" × 15"
and nail the top to them. (See the drawing for the position of the
cleats.)
|
|
3. Rip off the tongue edge and plane it so that the
top is exactly 18" wide.
|
|
4. Turn the cabinet upside down on the floor and fit
the swing tops. Hang them with a pair of butt hinges opposite the
ends of the cleats.
|
|
5. Make a T-brace with a nailed cross lap joint from
two pieces, one being 13-16" × 2" × 14", the other
13-16" × 2" × 16½". The long edge of the T and
the leg must be bevelled 13-16" on one side. Fit and hang a T-brace
with a pair of butt hinges on each side of the swing tops.
|
|
6. Make two brace cleats and fasten them to the ends
of the cabinet, so that the swing tops are held level and even with
the top of the cabinet.
|
|
1. Unscrew the swing tops from the cabinet to put
the zinc on.
|
|
2. Place the piece of zinc, 27" × 39", on top,
extending 1½" over the edges all around.
|
|
3. Hold the zinc firmly in place and make a square
bend along the front edge with a hammer or mallet, bending the edge
of the zinc up under the top.
|
|
4. Punch a straight row of holes 1" apart through
the zinc and tack it on.
|
|
5. Bend the back edge, punch and tack in the same
manner as the front edge, but be sure the zinc fits snugly on the
top.
