The four shelves are now put in place. These are notched out to fit
around the posts and are nailed and glued.

While the glue is hardening on these, the plate rails can be cut. These
have 7/8-in grooves near the front edge to receive the lower edge of the
plates when resting against the two strips placed 5 in. above the plate
rails and far enough back to prevent the plates from falling forward.

The rails are fastened to the two sides with dowels, three at each end
being sufficient. The two strips fit in mortises cut in the side pieces.
The top is then put on. This fits around the posts and rests on the
sides. Hooks on which to hang cups are placed under the rails. All parts
are thoroughly sandpapered before the stain is applied.

A MISSION SIDEBOARD

[Illustration: Sideboard for the Dining-Room Set]

The sideboard is a piece designed to go with the armchair and side chair
with similar paneling design. Like these chairs the sideboard should be
made of hard wood and should be similarly finished. The drawer pulls, if
not made of wood, should be of such metal and design as to harmonize
with the mission style. Wrought-iron effects in plain outlines are
appropriate.

Drawer sides, bottoms and backs may be made of some soft wood, such as
yellow poplar. The small top drawer may be lined with ooze leather for
holding silverware.
