Four 1-in. and two 5/8-in. canes will be required; from the former four lengths should be bent or toed out and cut off 20 in. long. Four pieces, each 16 in. long, for the four rails should now be cut off from the 1-in. canes, chisel-pointed, mortised (or hollowed) with the rasp, and fitted in their places. Holes should then be bored in the legs to receive the dowels, and the two sides framed up. While these sides, or sections, are setting, the two ornamental fillings should be made from |-in. cane.

Bamboo Newspaper Rack.

Four pieces of 1-in. bamboo, each 9 in. long (l^in. is allowed for fitting), should now be prepared to form the cross rails which are to join the two sections together. When the sections are set, holes should be bored to receive the dowels of the cross rails, and the whole joined together. The two uprights for the partition are fitted to the bottom cross rail, and the top cross rail and upright are half jointed where they cross. The rail which carries the handle is mortised and dowelled at each end and fastened into position with two round-headed screws. The handle is made from 5/8-in. cane bent as shown, and fastened to the centre rail with round-headed screws. The rails which form the division of the partition, as also the three cross rails forming the bottom, are made from 5/8-in. cane mortised at the ends and fixed into position with beading pins. A diagonal stay, not shown in the illustration, may be added to the central framework.
