e down and nail this piece with the smooth edge
projecting 7/8" over the front side of the frame. Nail the rest of the
flooring so that each piece matches tightly.

Ends:

1. For the back, cut eleven pieces of ceiling 31-1/4" long.

2. Plane off the groove edge of one piece of ceiling and nail it on the
back of the frame even with the end. 3. Nail the rest of the ceiling on
the back. Be sure that each joint matches tightly.

Shelves:

1. Make four strips (3/4" x 3/4" x 16-1/2") and nail two of them inside,
across each end, 15" and 24" from the bottom. These strips hold the
shelves.

2. From a 1" x 12" piece cut two pieces 32-1/2" long; fit and
nail them in for the upper shelf.

3. Make the bottom shelf of two pieces, one 10-1/4" wide and the other
8" wide. When these boards are nailed in place, the shelf is narrow
enough to allow the doors, with pockets on, to close.

4. Make two strips; one 13-16" x 1" x 16-1/2" and the other 13-16" x
1-3/4" x 20-1/2", and nail them to the top shelf for drawer guides.

Top:

1. Cut eight pieces of flooring 36" long for the top.

2. Plane off the groove of one piece and nail it on the top of the
frame, so that the smooth edge and the ends project 1" over the front
side and ends of the cabinet.

3. Nail the rest of the flooring on for the top, being sure that each
joint matches tightly. The last piece must also project 1" over the back
side.

Casing:

1. Nail the casing, which is 1-3/4" wide, on the front of the cabinet.

Doors:

1. Make each door 3/4" x 14-3/8" x 22-7/8" from five pieces of ceiling
22-7/8" long, held together by cleats at the top and bottom.

2. Fit each door carefully, then hang them with butt hinges. Fasten a
cupboard catch on each door.

Drop Door:

1. Make the drop door 13-16" x 14-3/8" and hinge it with a pair of butt
hinges. Put on the stopper chain and catch. Swing Tops:

The swing tops are each made from six pieces of flooring 24" long
cleated together.

[Illustration: _Fig_. 36.--Working details]

1. Plane off the groove edge of one piece and match them all together.

2. Make the cleats 3/4" x 2" x 15" and nail the top to them. (See the
drawing for the position of the cleats.)

3. Rip off the tongue edge and plane it so that the top is exactly 18"
wide.

4. Turn the cabinet upside down on the floor and fit the swing tops.
Hang them with a pair of butt hinges opposi
