by making it in this way, we can do so without pulling 

 it all to pieces. We will first make the framework of the 

 front as shown in Fig. i, after having decided to use 

 2in. quartering, which has already been bought in 

 lengths as near as possible to what are required. For 

 this framework we have one twelve feet length and two 

 ten feet lengths. These we saw exactly in halves,

Taking one of the six feet pieces we proceed to cut 

 it as shown in Fig. 2 (for simplicity in drawing and

 and the other six feet length are treated similarly, and 

 form the top and bottom bars, A and B. We next take 

 two of the five feet pieces and cut these in a like manner, 

 so that we are now able to make the joint as shown in 

 Fig. 3. This is a very simple way of jointing our 

 framework. Should anyone decide to make a mortice 

 joint, it can be done as shown in Fig. 4, which is, 

 perhaps, rather stronger and more workmanlike, but the
