Before you can make any project you must know the size and shape of every part that enters into its construction. You must also know how the parts are assembled. Properly made working drawings will show all this. Hence, when making a new model, it is wise to proceed as follows:

Name

Foot Stool

Grade

Scale

Bench No Date.

1. If drawings are not furnished, make one or more that will show the size and shape of every part, and the method of assembling it in the finished article. (See Figs. 1 and 2.)

The assembly drawing (Fig. 1) should be made first. It may, or may not, show all the dimensions needed to construct the article. Its purpose is rather to show the general proportions of the parts and how they are arranged and fastened. It should, however, be drawn to scale and give as many dimensions as possible without crowding.
