| 2 | end pieces, 5/8 by 5-1/4 by 6 in. |
| 1 | shelf 5/8 by 5-1/4 by 13 in. |
The shelf is cut rectangular, 5-1/4 in. wide by 14-1/2 in. long. Its two ends should then be provided with tenons 3/8 in. thick by 4-1/4 in. wide, and extending out 1/4 inch.
A Bookrack That can be Made in Any Wood to Match Other Furniture
The end pieces, after being cut to the given dimensions, are marked off and cut out for mortises to fit the shelf tenons.
In assembling the parts, they are glued in place, and clamped with hand screws until the glue has set. Any of the good mission stains, properly applied, will give a finished appearance to the bookrack.
A Paper Gas Pipe
When one fits up an attic or a back room as a workshop, it is seldom that a gas connection is available on about the same level as the workbench so that a Bunsen burner and soldering apparatus may be operated. To install the standard gas pipe, it would be necessary either to alter the chandelier connection or to tear up some of the plaster, the former plan resulting in a rather conspicuous display of pipe and the latter in considerable expense. The following method permits the rolling of a pipe, about the size of a lead pencil, from paper that becomes so stiff that it is almost impossible to crush it between the thumb and fingers. This small inconspicuous pipe may be run directly from the side of the valve on the chandelier to the wall, as shown in the sketch, thence down some corner formed by a door jamb or window frame, which protects it and renders it almost unnoticeable.
The Tube is Run Out Horizontally from the Chandelier to the Wall Where the Drop is Connected
