The uprights (B) can be buttjointed and screwed or doweled in place with their inner edges 6У in. from the inner edges of the posts. This leaves a surface of 1% in. on either side of the fillets that band the side edges of the center panel. Headboard stretcher (D) has iin. tenons mortised into the legs. The top edge of each center panel is extended upward У2 in. by a filler strip (E) being nailed to the top of the upper panel rail, as shown. The center panel is raised by nailing >ioin. filler strips, (F) and (G), around the face of the framing, allowing space for the Уяin. fillets (H). The side panels and center panel can then be glued in place, separated by the fillets (H), whose upper ends are mitered to fit miters cut in the Ут. top fillet () over the center panel. Although a good gluing and clamping job will hold the panels in place, additional security may be obtained by letting brads protrude in. from the gluing surfaces of the frame, and filing their heads to sharp points. Front and back panels are pressed in place over these points prior to applying the clamps. Small fillers (Q) between the tops of the fillets are glued over the end grain of filler (E). A more craftsmanlike procedure would be to miter the ends of these fillers into the sides of fillets (H), extending their width to % in. and mitering them into the top edge of the top band (P). For the craftsman who enjoys problems in double mitering, the top fillet () can be eliminated entirely by mitering the ends of fillets (H) into the ends of the top band (P). A single panel of plywood is used for backing the headboard. It can be cut INDOOR FURNITURE CONSTRUCTION i: with a in.
