[Illustration: Detail of the Mission Sideboard]
Begin work by cutting the posts to the length indicated in the detail
drawing. The top ends are tapered with a 1/2-in. slant. These posts are
cut in pairs and it is best to stand them up in the same position they
will be in the finished sideboard, and mark the sides to be mortised
with a pencil. Also cut the grooves into which the panels are to fit.
These are to be 1/4 in. wide and a little over 1/4 in. deep.
[Illustration: Mission Sideboard in Quarter-Sawed Oak]
The rails are cut with tenon ends to match the mortises, and also have
grooves to receive the panels.
The bottom part of the back is closed with a panel and two rails, one at
the same height from the floor as the front bottom rail, and the top one
even with the under side of the top. The large panel is for the opening
thus formed.
These parts are now put together, using plenty of good hot glue, and
spreading it well on the mortises and tenon ends.
When drawing the frame together with the clamps, care must be taken to
get it square.
After the glue is hard enough to remove the clamps, the top and bottom
are put in place. The corners of the top are notched out to fit around
the posts, while the bottom is cut to fit on the inside of the rails and
is held in place by putting screws in at an angle through the bottom
into the rails. The top is also fastened in this way, except that the
screws are run through the rails into the top.
The two vertical pieces are now put in place. Drive nails throug
