In a small kitchen, a folding table is the 

 best for varied uses 



Handy Folding Kitchen Tables 



A FOLDING table which is firm and 

 stationary when in use and which 

 takes up no space in the room when not 

 in use can be constructed by an\' one 

 with available lumber and accessories. 

 The table fokls against the wall when 

 not in use, and for this reason it is a 

 great help in small bedrooms, where 

 there is need for a table to hold instru- 

 ments and medicines. It can be used 

 as a writing desk or a dining table 

 chief value lies in the fact that it 

 against the wall and thus takes 

 minimum of space.

Fiber Disk Cutter 



Sl^CURE two pieces of K"'"- iron 

 pipe 8 ins. long. In both ends of 

 one of these pieces tap out J-s in- iron 

 thread. In one end screw a short 3/8-iii- 

 iron nip[)le. This is for brace or lathe 

 chuck. In the other end screw in a pointed 

 plug of steel. Split the other 8-in. piece 

 with a hacksaw (one end only), for about 

 I )4 ins. Open this up large enough to slip 

 o\-cr yi in. pipe. Drill the split end for 

 fair-sized rivet or bolt Yz in. back from 

 end. Drill the other 8-in. piece for this 

 same rivet about I'i ins. from pointed 

 end. Two ins. up from this point drill 

 two smaller rivet holes as shf)wn in the 

 drawing. These are for a 6-in. piece of 

 y^^-'m. pipe to be slotted as you have 

 done with one of the 8-in. pieces. Rivet 

 this securely. Near the end of this 6-in. 

 piece cut an opening to receive a short 

 piece of No. 4 wire. This is the spring 

 guide shown in the sketch. L is a slip 

 collar. Af is a cutting point held in 

 jilace by A^, a set screw. K is a set .screw 

 for holding collar to shaft. J shows the 

 method of fasten-

 to main shaft A. 

 Q shows the slot

To Repeat Drawings 



IT often iiappens that an artist has a 

 design to repeat several limes. Here's 

 a quick way. Take a sheet of thin 

 transparent celluloid and sandpaper 

 one side to a ground glass-like surface. 

 Place this over the design and trace the 

 design with lead pencil on this roughened 

 surface. Now turn this tracing down 

 and rub the smooth side of the cellu- 

 loid with the bowl of a spoon or similar 

 smooth object. Several impressionsmay 

 be made. With a little practice six im- 

 pressions are easy to make. Use cellu- 

 loid such as is in windows of auto-tops. 

 It is very cheap, and the thinner the 

 better. — Robt. C. Knox.

The parts are assembled by means 

 of small rivets
