A PAckNe-cAse WORKBENCH.

A homemade workbench will serve
a boys purpose just as well as a
bought one, and the difference in the
cost of its construction and the cost of
! a ready made bench can be expended
TO better advantage for tools.
The packing-case bench illustrated
below is very easy to build, and, as it
requires only two packing-cases which
can be purchased for 10 or 20 cents
apiece. 50cent bench-screw, and sew
eral lengths of board which can likely
be picked up in the basement or wood
shed, it should not cost over one dol
lar. One box will do for small bench
and be perfectly satisfactory for many
purposes; but if you make a vise-and
a wise is almost necessity for hold
ing work for planing-two boxes VIII
be needed
The packing cases should be about
20 by 20 by 80 inches in size. You
can probably get what you want from
nearby dry goods store The boxes
should be of equal length. 1t will not
matter If there is a difference in the
widths, and If one is deeper than the
other, it can be allowed to project at
the rear.
After getting the boxes, the first
thing to do is to reinforce them
wherever boards show signs of loosen
ing, by driving in additional nails.
Then place them on end as shown in
Fig. 3, and connect them side by side
with strips A upon the bottom, with
strips B and c across the back, with
the board d across the top even with
the front, and with the apron board e
across the front Strips A, 3 and C
need not be more than three or four
inches wide. Board ID should be ten
or twelve inches wide, as it forms the
main working surface OF the bench,
and board &c should be of the same
