Dimensions:
- Legs: 4 pieces 1½” thick × 1½” wide × 31½” long.
- Shelves: 4 pieces 1” thick × 1½” wide × 7” long to make the upper shelf.
- 1 piece 1” thick × 15” wide × 15” long for lower shelf.
- Braces: 4 pieces 1” thick × 2½” wide × 3” long to be cut into 4 equal triangles.
Directions:
Bevel the tops of all 4 of the legs at an angle of 45°. Make the upper shelf of the 4 pieces measuring 1” × 1½” × 7”. Measure 2¼” from the tops of the 4 legs and screw the upper shelf to the legs at these points. A solid piece of wood with a hole in the center may be used in making this shelf. Support this upper shelf by screwing the four triangular braces (1” × 2½” × 3”) in the corners of the shelf. Use the 8 1-inch No. 9 screws for this purpose. Saw the lower shelf out 1½” on each corner and screw it on the legs at a distance of 9” from the bottom of the legs. Sandpaper but do not stain. Take a piece of flannel of the desired size and make the jelly bag in the shape of a triangle. Sew a loop of tape at each corner to hang the bag over the posts.
JELLY STRAINER, NO. 2
While this jelly strainer is unique and useful in its construction it is not adjustable. It is made of poplar at a minimum cost. Around the top edge are arranged little brass hooks. These are put at equal distances apart. At the lower end of the trough two plugs are put, one above the other, through which the jelly juice flows out into a pan placed beneath the plugs.
The jelly bag is made of an oblong piece of flannel with ivory rings sewed around the edges so as to hang the bag on the brass hooks around the top of the frame.
