board or shelf rests upon two rails that are mortised into
the posts as shown. The top and bottom boards should be of one piece if
possible, otherwise two or more boards will have to be glued together.

Before gluing up the joints see that all the pieces fit together square
and tight. The posts and rails should be glued and assembled, then the
top and bottom boards put in place to hold the frame square when the
clamps are put on.

Leave to dry for about 24 hours before removing the clamps. Fasten the
top and bottom boards in place and then go over the stand with fine
sandpaper and remove all surplus glue and rough spots.

A WARDROBE

The wardrobe or clothes closet shown in the accompanying sketch and
detail drawing will be found a great convenience in a bedroom where
closet space is limited or where there is no closet at all. It provides
ample room for hanging suits, dresses and other wearing apparel, as well
as space for boots and shoes. It can be made of any of the several
furniture woods in common use, but quarter-sawed oak will be found to
give the most pleasing effect. The stock should be ordered from the mill
ready cut to length, squared and sanded. In this way much labor will be
saved. The following pieces will be needed:
