Since there is to be no drawer, the subbase is eliminated and t base proper constructed of separate legs and filler strips as will be noted in Figu 275 For added strength, as well as for experience, lock miter joints can be mo easily constructed with hand or power tools in the narrow widths of siding usi to build up a chest of this style. If a simpler joint is used it can be strengthen! by corner braces that have been ripped lengthwise into triangular strips (B). heavy logs are used for firewood, it will be better to raise the bottom and reinfor u by strips screwed underneath to the edges of the chest (C).

Not the least important factor in this "wifesaving" campaign has been the development of wellproportioned cabinets for the compact and convenient storage of utensils and dishes. Kitchen Cabinet. The onepiece job (Figure 2.76) described below can be easily altered to suit circumstances. It provides a working surface of 24 in. X 3° in. with a 16in. clearance at the rear for tall articles such as electric mixers. A plywood counter is specified on the assumption that it will be covered by linoleum, or other suitable material. Before the sides (A) and (B) of the cabinet are glued, a in. rabbet гг in. wide is cut along the inner sides of the back edges to take the in. plywood back. After the sides are glued, instead of using clamps, the base cleats (?) can be screwed 3 in. back from the fronts of the bottom edges, and the drawer guides (P) fastened in place, including the three on the right side. Cleats (R) can also be lined up and screwed into place at this time, ready to hold the rear of the counter's sides. Blind dadoes are cut 10 in. apart in the upper sides for the bottom (G) and the shelf of the upper cabinet, (T).
