without throwing it out of square. In
fact. the quality of your work on this
part of the construction will make or
mar your success on the job as
whole. The back may be fastened to
the sides by means of brads, and the
top and bottom may be fastened by
means Of screws.
In making the shelves and the rack
inside the door, you will find accuracy
very essential. The note on the draw
ing with respect to laying out the
curves should be followed without
fail. 1t is very hard to get a good
looking layout of compass curves If
the arcs are connected directly. All
these parts may be sawed to shape
with the coping saw, and smoothed
with sandpaper. In order to avoid he
use of cleats in the cabinet. the shelves
are fastened in place by driving brads
through the sides. The several shelves
may be placed in the cabinet just as
soon as finished.
The next step will be the making of
the door,, Dimensions for the frame
are given, and you will observe from
the note at the bottom of the draw
ing that the choice of a mirror Or a
wood panel is left with the maker.
OF course. the mirror will add greatly

that it happens to be the only one In
the bath room. but II it is to be used
as an extra piece of equipment. then
the mirror is not SO important. AS
there is to be rack attached to the
inside of the door, it will be necessary
TO have the inside Of the latter flush
with the frame.
There are several ways in which the
door frame may be made and no meth
cd is shown by the drawing. The
usual method of mortise and tenon
may be used, or the pieces may he
fastened together by means Of half lap
joints. In either case it will be neces-
sary to "a bbet the inside of the frame
TO receive the panel or the mirror.
II your cabinet has been assembled
so it is square, and your door is
square, no further trouble will result.
The door is, of course. to be made
slightly smaller than the opening Of
the cabinet. Use three small hinges
to hold the door to the cabinet frame.
A knob and catch will be necessary
to hold the door closed and these are

- HIS cabinet Is one OF the most
III useful articles in the house, and
every home should have al least
" one. Bath rooms these days are
usually supplied with cabinet, but
most homes find that the average cab
met very soon becomes filled with nee
essary articles and there are still many
others to be taken care of. The CAB
met from which this drawing was
made is to occupy a place in bath
room already equipped with the resu-
lar built-in cabinet, and there will be
plenty of use for it. too.
There are quite number of pieces
to be made in this construction, SO you
should do as you have many times
been reqUested-make a bill Of ma
terial before starting your work. All
the pieces are to be gotten out to the
required overall sizes before any work
is done on cutting to shape.
In order that you may feel that you
are really accomplishing something,
the sides. bottom. top and back may
be assembled as soon as yout have
them to the required size and shape.
Not much shaping is necessary on
these parts, but you should see that

pieces will be necessary for the back.
