Wood: Either hard or soft. Preparatory.

A.   Make working drawing.

B.   From material dressed two sides to the desired thickness, cut piece 1/2" longer and 1/8" wider than required. Exercises.

1, 2. Same as in Fig. 1. -3, 4. Same as in Fig. 5. 5. A. Locate center of J" holes.

B.   Place piece in vise as in Fig. 2, Ex. 6.

C.   Bore holes with center or auger bit. If a " Forstner " bit is available, it should be used instead of either of the others, as it is less liable to split the wood. (This bit is not suitable for the general use of a class, as it is very easily dulled, and it is almost impossible to sharpen it.) If this bit is used, B may be omitted, as the model should be held with a hand screw closely against another piece, so that the bit may bore through without tearing the wood of the back side.

6.   Finish the holes in the ends of the model, and cut out the waist, or the middle of the edges. Use a sharp knife.

7.   Plane sides first.

8.   Sandpaper the model.

9. Inspect for defects and remedy them. 10. Shellac the model. Two coats rubbed down with oil. (Exercises 8 and 10 may be omitted if desired.)
