Four 4in. holes are bored in each foot }& in. deep at these points t< receive the ends of four in. dowels, 16 in. long. Similar holes are bored in the top with the aid of a block as templet, and th< doels, tops, feet, and blocks assembled "dry" for fit. Thirtytwo pieces of in. halfround molding are now cut exactly i$y2 in Fig. 221. Reeded bench. tan B A pair of blocks are propped up or clamped on their flat edges 14 in. арап 7 2 .

Molding strips are then finishnailed at each end to the circumferences of the blocks until the upper half holes are reached. These are filled by laying dowels in them and the remaining segment of the blocks is nailed up with moldings. The same procedure is followed with the other pair of blocks, to form the second leg of the bench. Dressing Table. The basic simplicity in the construction of the reeded bench lends itself to the design of a dressing table (Figure 2.22), whose graceful, reeded front compartment needs no ruffled fabrics for concealment or decorative effect. The plywood top is cut according to the pattern shown in A, of Figure 2.22. In order to decrease the depth of the curved portions, the radius of 7 in. is % in. less than the half circle. Along the inside of the vertical rear edges of the two outer sides a in. groove is routed У> in. deep to receive the in. plywood back. With the table top upside down on the workbench or the floor, the outer sides and their plywood back panel are attached to the underside of the top, flush with its back edge, by means of angle irons, mortise fasteners, or pocket screwing. The top should overhang the sides by У in. The inner sides are then fastened to the top 11 У\ in. from the outer sides. The plywood back is screwed to the rear edges of the inner sides from the back and front apron is attached У in. back from the front edge and screwed to the inner sides. The table can then be righted. The two curved bases for the doors are each cut from two pieces of iin. stock, which are screwed together from the underside, in pairs. Doweled to their corners are the two pieces of iin. baseboard that are attached to the outer sides, inner sides, and the back, with screws from the inside and the rear. Cleats are screwed inside the sidepieces of the table in. below the level of the curved bases so that the in. plywood bottoms will lay flush with the upper faces of the bases. The tops and bottoms of the doors, as well as the two in. plywood door shelves, are cut on a 6in. radius set back % in. from the diameter of the full halt circles.
