 do certain work on a "prime-cost" basis, the work on 

 completion to be measured and priced according to the 

 schedule of prices given, and an agreed trade profit added ; 

 (6) a contract may be arranged and a schedule of prices 

 made a part of it, the object of which is to adjust a final

Scoots. An American term for culls thrown out from mill run 

 in hardwoods. 



Scotia. The hollow moulding in the attic base between the 

 fillets of the Tori. It takes its name from the shadow formed 

 by it, which seems to envelop it in darkness. It is some- 

 times called a casement, and often from its resemblance to 

 a common pulley " Trochilus." 



Scots Fir (Pinus sylvestris}. A quick- growing British conifer, 

 thriving on the poorest soils. Used for pit-props, tem- 

 porary sleepers and building construction. 



Scraper. A " hand-tool " for putting a finished face upon hard- 

 wood, especially with cabinet-makers on veneer-work ; it 

 is iisually an oblong plate of steel about the size of a post- 

 card, the sharp edges of the metal being dexterously turned 

 over in " setting " to produce a keen edge. 



Scraper Grinding Machine. A machine for sharpening scraper 

 knives. Emery discs of small diameter hollow grind the 

 cutter, while it is automatically passed to and fro in front 

 of it. The edge of the cutter is also turned over by a special 

 tool and thus forms a scraping edge. 



Scraping Machine. This machine is used for scraping boards 

 after planing, which have to be highly polished. The boards 

 are fed through the machine by powerful roller feed gear 

 and scraped by means of a cutter, having a turned edge 

 like a hand-scraping tool. 



Scratch-moulding. A moulding worked on the stiles of early 

 wainscot panelling with a " scratch," a piece of steel, shaped 

 for the moulding stick in a block of wood, and worked by 

 hand after the manner of a " spokeshave " or " draw-knife," 

 so worked that the moulding ran out on the surface before 

 the point of a rail was arrived at. Such moulding can only 

 be " scratched " on hardwood like oak. In some degree 

 they resemble the " stop-chamfer " (which see ; also the 

 later "planting mouldings").
