Make these frames enough smaller than the openings they are to occupy to allow for burlap and tacks. These frames are held in place by putting fixed nails in the top of each frame before the burlap is attached. Holes are bored in the rails to correspond to them. The lower edges of the frames are held in place by nails inserted up through the rails upon which the frames rest. [Illustration: Detail of the Frame] A FOLDING CARD TABLE The accompanying sketch shows the details of a card table that can be folded up and carried about or stored away when not in use. We would advise making two tables at the same time, as the material for both can be purchased nearly as cheaply as for one. The material necessary for making one table is given in the following list: 1 piece, 7/8 by 1-3/16 by 27-1/2 in., basswood or poplar. 2 pieces, 7/8 by 1-3/16 by 29-1/4 in., basswood or poplar. 4 legs, 1 in. square, 24-3/4 in. long; oak. 4 pieces, 1 in. square, 5 in. long; oak. 4 side pieces, 3/8 by 1-3/8 by 29-5/8 in.; oak. 4 pieces, 27-1/2 in. long, single groove electric wire moulding with batten. 1 piece cardboard, 1/8 in. thick, 29-1/4 in. square. 4 pieces brass rod, 3-16 in. diameter, 15 in. long. 30 small copper washers, 3/8 or 7/16 in. outside diameter and drilled 3/16 in. 4 brass corners, 1-3/8 in, deep. 2-1/2 doz. No. 5 oval head brass screws, 3/4 in. long. 4 No. 2, 7/8-in. rubber screw tips. 1 piece felt, 1 yd. square. 1 sheet wadding, 1 yd. square (if pad is wanted under felt). 1 pt. wood stain. 3 doz. No. 14 wire beads, 2 in. long. Some 2-oz., 4-oz., and 6-oz. flat-head tacks. Begin by squaring up the four legs making them all 24-3/4 in. long and 1 in. square. Also square up the crosspieces marked B in the detail drawing. These should be 5 in. long and should have 1/4-in. holes about 1 in. deep drilled in both ends of each for the 1/4-in. oak swivel pins. Measure back 1-1/2 in. from one end of each and bore a 9/16-in. hole, 7/8 in. deep as shown. Now cut a tenon on one end of each leg, 3/4 in. long, that will fit tightly in this 9/16-in. hole. Round the corners of the piece B at the top as shown at C. Fasten the two pieces together with glue and brads, being careful to get them sq
