 the frame is square, and nail the bottom to the frame.

 stock as given for the sides, ends, and bottom. Lay out lines for a 

 hole for the handle, as shown by the drawing. This hole is 1 inch 

 wide and 5 inches long and is placed 1 inch from the top and midway 



from the ends of the 

 piece. Cut out most 

 of the wood from the

Plane off any unevenness that is found, and the box is finished. 



EXERCISE II. SAWHORSE. 



A pair of sawhorses will be a convenience in making the wood-

 and two pieces white pine 1 by 4 by 16 inches. The lumber should
