e same if it is necessary to remove a shaving or two when
planing or levelling up the face of the frame.

A JAPANESE TENONED JOINT, little known and rarely used in this country,
is shown at Fig. 146. For clearness the two parts are here shown
separate. The joint is self-wedging and will be of interest to Handicraft
Instructors.

A TENONED AND SCRIBED JOINT is seen at Fig. 147. The cross rail is cut at
the shoulder, so as to fit the moulding which is worked on the stile.
This is a good joint in everyday use.

MITRED AND MOULDED JOINT.--Fig. 148 shows a type of joint largely used in
light cabinet work. The method of mitreing the moulding and tenoning the
stile to rail is indicated.

TWIN TENONS (Fig. 149).--The method of tenoning the bearers which carry
the drawers, or the midfeather between two drawers, in a dressing table
or similar carcase is here shown. On completion, the tenons on the
midfeather are wedged diagonally.

PINNING.--Fig. 150 shows the tenoning of the inside end of a wardrobe to
the top of the carcase. This is also called pinning. The tenons should be
wedged diagonally. The tenons and the distance between the tenons are
more satisfactory if made equidistant, because if slight shrinkage occurs
this is partially equalised. The width between the tenons should in no
case exceed 3 ins.

TOP RAILS.--At Fig. 151 is shown the method of joining the top rails to
the post of a tool shed or similar outhouse. The two rails, which are at
right angles to each other, are half-lapped and mortised; the tenon on
the post runs entirely through them.

A TUSK TENON JOINT, with wedge, as used to secure the binder to the
girder when making floors, is indicated at Fig. 153. The tenon here is
narrow and engages the mortise, which is situated in the compressional
fibres immediately adjoining the neutral layer. Fig. 152 shows a tusk
tenon furnished with a drawbore pin.

or medicine cabinet. The
