The work of this section offers wide opportunity for the exercise of the originality of each student. If the tool processes already set forth have been duly mastered, and if the work of design and drawing has had proper attention, students should have a fund of experience and judgment from which to derive ideas for modifications of the work to suit individual taste.

The projects vary very much in difficulty in order to provide for the speedy and adept students as well as for the less capable ones. This latitude can, of course, be carried a great deal farther by introducing more or less difficult features in connection with each project as the needs of a particular student may require.

This section is so designed as to make possible a general review of practically all the principles previously set forth. The all-important principle of squaring stock is, of course, brought out in every lesson; this must not be neglected simply because the work has passed its elementary stage. The mortise and tenon joint is introduced in its simplest applications; it may be modified and developed as individual needs may suggest.

By giving a little thought to the selection of projects from this section it will be possible to present a sequential review of many of the most important processes and principles of elementary bench work. The simple butt joint, miter, half-lap, mortise and tenon, dowel, and tongue and groove are all found in their most common application in this section.

Students should not be allowed to leave this section until they have acquired considerable skill with all the more common tools and until they are thoroughly grounded in the idea that there can be no such method as "cut and try" in good work.
