stiffens and makes the resulting piece much firmer and stronger 

 than a large block or piece of the same size obtained without 

 gluing. 



The core for this pattern, being straight from end to end, and 

 cylindrical, only a half core box is required, as shown in Fig. 157. 

 After being laid off and worked out in the same manner as de- 

 scribed for the core box, Figs. 14)5 and 144, cut the ends of a with 

 draft of \ inch in 12 inches, and glue and nail on the ends c and e, 

 which may be g inch to | inch in thickness. 



Shellac and finish as described for pattern, Fig. 140, giving 

 first two coats of orange or white shellac, and for the last coat on 

 core prints of the pattern and -the inside of the core box a use the 

 red, the body of the pattern being left natural color (with three 

 coats) and the outside of the core box either natural or black. 



GLUING. 



As the use of glue enters largely into the construction of all 

 patterns, some instruction as to its selection and the manner of 

 using will be necessary. When building up patterns, the connec- 

 tions should in all cases be made by gluing. Nails should never 

 be used except when they can be so placed as to be entirely removed 

 from all danger of contact with the tools used in turning and shap- 

 ing the pattern, and when so employed should be used in conjunc- 

 tion with glue. The only advantage in their use is the hastening 

 of the work, because they take the place of hand screws or clamps 

 while the glue is drying. 



The use of nails, however, is always unsatisfactory, for when 

 the point is passing through the upper piece, small thin slivers are 

 brokeii from the under surface, which have a tendency to separate 

 the two sni'f'aces instead of exerting the required pressure as when 

 hand screws are used. 



For pattern work select only the very best quality of cabinet- 

 makers' glue, or better still, the best quality of white glue. This 

 white glue can always be had in two forms, first, white glue, c/cffr, 

 and second, white glue opaque. The first is the glue without the 

 addition of any foreign substance. The second looks much whiter 

 than the first, because of the addition of whiting, or other mineral. 

 to the glue. This addition dues not in any way lessen the
