“Floating” is usually the result of a poor mixture royal staffordshire by clarice cliff nancy .
Viscosity antwerp collector’s cabinet . As noted above, it is evident that in addition to manual ability to control properly the sweep of the gun, the liquid being sprayed must be of the correct body or viscosity furniture in neo classical style,east india company, india . Many craftsmen are satisfied with a crude paddle test, during which they dip a thin strip of metal into the liquid up to a predetermined mark gillows antique furniture .

FURNITURE FINISHING TECHNIQUE
In addition to cleanliness of the surface, tools and air and repeated stirring of the finishing fluid, following a methodical procedure in enameling or painting furniture will obviate considerable unsatisfactory retouching dutch provencial furniture . In this connection a good light is a prime requisite 1800’s cylider desk .
Chairs all([ tables should be turned upside down so that the lower, not easily accessible parts can be coated first renaissance woodwork cassoni . In enameling it is very important to examine all vertical surfaces for runs or sags within the first five minutes, before the liquid hardens and becomes too tacky to smooth out with a wiped brush antique.italian.porcelain. . This is particularly important around beading, carvings, and turnings, where the brush may skip the valleys drum/breakfast table . Flat horizontal surfaces are left until last, with excess fluid eliminated by “cross-Hatching”—brushing first with the grain then across it glass front marquetry cabinet .
Finally, care must be exercised at all times that no coat is applied before the underneath one is completely dry antique calamander . The rule to remember is: never finish over a glossy surface or attempt to sand one that is not hard dry louis xv dining table stretcher draw leaf .
Decorative finishes for painted or enameled surfaces are discussed later in the chapter furniture makers of the 16th century .
OPAQUE FINISHES
As previously mentioned, the purpose of an opaque finish is to conceal the surfaces of woods deficient in grain patterns, or to hide inferior material, or even poor workmanship brass candelabras made in china . Applied with brush or spray gun, these finishes run the gamut> of color and sheen, from a high gloss enamel to flat paint, and may be decorated with decal conian! as, stencils, peasant painting, various novelty effects, or glazing end table ivory inlaid india wwii . This so-called “painted furniture” has become justly popular in bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, rumpus rooms and nurseries, as well as on the outdoor porch or in the garden antique maple drop leaf dining table .

Their solvents are supplied or specified by the manufacturer belgian designers included henry van de velde and gustave serrurier-bovy .
Today there are many “quick-drying” and “one-coat” enamels on the market in a variety of colors and glosses serpentine pembroke table . While it is true that when applied over a wool as hard and as light colored as maple or birch a single coat will hide with a uniform gloss, yet it is not likely that one coat will satisfactorily cover softwoods such as white pine and basswood, porous woods like poplar and spruce, coarse woods with the variegated grainings displayed by yellow pine and fir, or (ark redwood or gumwood candelabra baroque .
On soft woods, a hardening coat of shellac, diluted 50 per cent with denatired alcohol, can be applied and sanded smooth when dry with 3–o abrasive gay antiqe .

Undercoater art deco legs desk . The best professionally applied enamel finishes consist of at least three coats and a final rubbing antique french fluted table drawer . This insures both greater depth and smoothness in the final film george hepplewhite stringing . Instead of diluting the enamel for the initial coat, an enamel undercoater is used dresden richard klemm . This is nothing more than a heavily pigmented, flat-drying hard paint that possesses better hiding qualities than are offered by the glossy enamels antique tea cabinet . The fact that the undercoater is basically a paint does not mean that a flat wall paint can be successfully substituted for it; raw paint is too ;oft to stand up to the necessary sanding artdeco lamp . If, however, an undercoater is not available when needed, a satisfactory substitute can be mixed from 8 parts of flat write paint to which i part of enamel has been added as a hardener secretaire empire 1800 .
Although enamel undercoater comes only in white, it can and should be tirted to approximate the shade of enamel to be used period drawing room looks . This is easily accomplished by thinning a small amount of color ground in oil with turpentine and stirring it gradually into the white undercoater how did 18th century cabinet makers finish their cabinets . Since an exact match is not required, the final shade should not be markedly darker or lighter than the enamel barker brothers coffee table for sale .

The present vogue for natural finishes is a normal reaction from a pe iod simulate rich depth 19 century mahogany gateleg table . Nowadays the native grain and figure of choice hardwoods is appreciated and enhanced by more honest methods rococo silver candlestick .
The schedule for any transparent finish must consider the porosity or coarseness of the grain to be covered art deco wooden armchairs . Except with mission or weathered oak and Old World finishes, it is common practice to fill all coarse-grained woods so that the pores are flush with the surrounding surface 19 century english roll top desks . This builds up a uniform level for succeeding finish coats, free from pockets for dust and dirt deposits pembroke end table . Colored fillers, furthermore, are important aids in emphasizing the grain pattern ironstone pottery .
Fillers antique spanish blue and white pottery . Ready-prepared fillers are entirely satisfactory and easy to apply antique octagon knee hole desk . They are available in stock shades of light and dark walnut, red and brown mahogany, natural, light and dark golden oak, other wood colors, as well as white for novelty finishes german antique card table . The addition of drop black ground in oil will produce the deeper shades, and zinc oxide will lighten the color of a prepared filler until it is suitable for almost any job lion cabriole antique . For the hobbyist who prefers to mix his own filler or has a special job in mind, it is no difficult matter to make up a natural (transparent) base filler from powdered rock quartz, known to the trade as “silex antique fall front desk .” A mixture of 2 oz aaron burr desk . of turpentine, 2 oz contemporary designs for dressing table . of japan drier, and 5 oz table paw feet antique . of boiled linseed oil is slowly stirred into 2 lb carl walters ceramics . of fine powdered silex 1945 mahogany desk .

Although it is already mixed with linseed oil and japan drier, the paste must be thinned to the consistency of thick varnish so that it can be brushed on antique ceramic dish in silver stand . As a thinner, naphtlia, decreases the drying time while turpentine tends to hold the coat open; the two can be mixed together to moderate the drying period examples of 19th century pennsylvania furniture . Boiled linseed oil will hold the coat open for at least half an hour; japan drier will speed up the drying process ecole de nanci furniture . The thickness of the mixture will depend upon the coarseness of the pores to be filled antique chippendale dining chairs with bronze leg decoration . The filler mixture required for the more common woods is suggested below:
Heavy Medium Thin None
Philippine mahogany Walnut Maple Cedar
Oak Mahogany Gurnwood Pine
Ash Cherry Birch Basswood

Relative measures Application antique georgian dining table, pad foot . Assuming that a dark shade of filler has been selected to h -blight the grain figure in walnut, mahogany or oak in order to distinguish it f’orn imitations on guniwood, poplar, beech, and other inferior woods, the first ep, before the actual filling operation is to apply a wash coat of white shellac, dil fed i part shellac to () parts of denatured alcohol antique cherry drop leaf six legs . This will prevent the oil in the filler from darkening the wood 19th century 5 legged table .
Meanwhile the filler is mixed to a creamy brushing consistency, regardles• of whether it is of 16- or 8-lb base antique mahogany drum tables library tables writing tables value popular . When the wash coat of shellac sealer has c(111- pletely dried, the filler is liberally applied by means of a short-bristle brush 2:ith the grain chinese chicken coop armoire .

Built-in Bars viennese chairs . A majority of modern home recreation rooms now feature a permanent bar built into a corner or an end of the room aaron burr desk . Like their commercial prototypes—the milk bars, hosiery bars, necktie bars or ice cream bars—their primary objective need not necessarily be to dispense alcoholic beverages edgar brandt table . In reality nothing more than counters at which “customers” can comfortably stand or sit, these home cola, snack, or cocktail bars are fundamentally of simple construction indian vernacular furniture .

Depending upon the interests of the family, basement recreation rooms may be planned primarily for other purposes, with the bar an incidental feature or lacking entirely antique russian chess table . If the family includes several young people, a teen-age recreation area will probably be needed, and the basement offers an area more or less isolated from the rest of the house renniance ebony cupboard italian antique .

Many basements are remodeled to facilitate a photographic hobby norman bel geddes desk . Fullfled-ed photographers build a dark room there for developing negatives and making prints an(> enlargements, and sometimes use an adjoining portion of the basement as a place to hang prints or show slides chinese cabinet with william and mary legs . A dark room will require some special plumbing and wiring, and slide-viewing is most convenient when both a suitable electrical outlet and a switch for turning the room lights on and off are located near the projector antigue collectors .

the basement remodeling operation “manual wind watches” “out of fashion” . If the hobby is moving picture photography, the same electrical conveniences will be needed near the projector renaissance italian furniture style a bambocci and cupboards .

Furnace Enclosures french fashion in 19 century . When no amount of plotting or planning will yield a room of desirable size and still exclude the ubiquitous furnace, it too, must be treated boldly, like the washtubs in the preceding section modern art deco bookcase . Whenever one side can be left open to the unfinished part of the basement, the problem of air circulation is simplified, since the other two sides can either be inclosed in knotty pine or wallboard, with a door at the front, or a fairly tight lattice-work enclosure can be erected on studding, with lattice-work doors “antique collectors blog” .
In many cases, however, the furnace will have been located with its back near one of the basement walls, causing it to project well into the intended game room lion paw pedestal table .

OUTDOOR FURNITURE
WITHIN the limitations of season and climate, the universal urgetoward outdoor living has become an important trend, which is noticeably reflected in modern architectural design antique desks by wilkinson and son . -New houses are being constructed to afford privacy to verandas, loggias, and patios dutch east india marks . Older houses are having their porches emphasized and their backyards glamorized antique pattern coat of arms . Picture windows and French doors are opening up the outside walls so that the formerly sporadically used porches and terraces have become integrated into the home as “outdoor rooms french table stretcher draw leaf .”
This flowing of the home’s interior into the open air has naturally exerted certain influences upon porch and lawn furniture design, as well as on exterior decoration neo-classical side chair . While comfort durability- remain paramount considerations, the “outdoor living room” conception has introduced a diversity in utility and styling

formerly lacking antique gate leg table very narrow . This is especially noticeable where protection from weathering exists, either due to overhead cover or climatic conditions ruba glass factory in italy . Under the-*– favorable circumstances outdoor furniture very properly merges with its more delicate-appearing indoor counterparts antiques lamps made by universal statuary co. .
Construction Details urn cutlery box . In general, however, it is the accepted fate of outdoor furniture to be left to the mercy of the elements for weeks and months at a time 1700s brass tea caddy . This requires a rugged type of construction whose basic simplicity makes optional the use of the more complicated forms of joinery robert adam dining tables . Since there is no need to hide the heads of screws or nails, the lowly butt joint may well come into its own, and a simple set of hand tools suffice for all operations, with the possible exception of the cutting of satisfactorily rounded wheels mihalik art pottery ashtray . If these are not obtainable from a local lumber mill or woodworking shop, it is often possible to utilize the disk wheels from toy wagons or scooters, particularly when the finished piece is to be painted voc dutch furniiture chest photos . It should be observed in passing that galvanized screws and nails are sufficient for this outside construction, unless salt air is prevalent double gate-leg table antique . Tn the latter case brass or bronze screws and cement-coated or copper nails will furnish the necessary corrosive resistance royal court floral bone china hand made & painted by craftsman staffordshire . Where glue is used it should, of course, be waterproof c19 commodes .
Choice of Wood art nouveau france origins . When selecting a wood for outdoor construction it is well to choose a heartwood that is relatively resistant to decay; the untreated sapwood of nearly all species has a low resistance to decay ebay - 8 legged mahogany drop leaf dining table . As noted in Chapter r, the different species of woods are decay-resistant to varying degrees antique bentwood chair kohn .

Finish leaves for old oak table? . Hand in hand with the selection of the kind of wood goes the choice of finish antique worcester porcelain factory+grainger . For white and colored effects, a good grade of lead and oil gloss paint applied in at least three coats will suffice under normal conditions dog kennel dressers . At the seashore, or wherever salt air is prevalent, it is advisable to substitute 15 to 20 per cent zinc white for a like amount of white lead antique 6 ft. st. louis credenza values . Since the zinc requires more oil to break it down, it should be mixed separately before adding it to the lead mixture mahogany cellaret .
Mildew may develop oil paint that is continuously exposed to damp, humid, and shady conditions, especially when the paint film is soft antique dressing table maple venner . White paint containing both lead and zinc requires a minimum of oils and therefore dries so hard that it is highly resistant to mildew 1930 upholstered chair . Darker paints require more oil and are consequently more subject to mildew antique narrow drop leaf table .
Mildew Prevention dog kennel dressers . Although some ready-mixed paints now contain a mildew-preventive compound, the home painter can procure his own fungicide and add it to his prepared paint without difficulty dressers with shelves on the side . To harden the film, the oil that has risen to the top of the unstirred paint is poured off at the rate of one pint to the gallon of mixture 19century british armschairs . This is replaced by one-half pint of turpentine to each gallon of paint verlys smoke glass . The additional preventive of an ounce of mercurous chloride
(calomel), dissolved in the turpentine before mixing, will produce a paint whose hard, fungus-proof film will be highly resistant to the sooty or rusty mildew deposits georgian telescopic silver candlestick .
Colors antique english ironstone . The choice of colors is a matter of personal taste canterbury music stand . Garden furniture is commercially finished in an unobtrusive green or in the universally satisfactory white, which is prone to chalking japanese botanical motifs . Nowadays there are available durable, sun-resistant enamels with alkyd-resin bases, and for furniture constantly exposed to still and weather it may prove advisable to finish with an automobile enamel napolean empire furniture . Whatever the medium used, the home painter call indulge his or her fancies in two color applications tavolino giapponese realizzato in lacca e avorio . With a bright flower garden or shrubbery background providing the dominant color note, the furniture can well be subordinated by using contrastingly cold colors, such as a French gray and blue dining room table made from huge clock . On a tiled terrace, or against a brick wall, the warm colors of the bricks might be picked up images antique table wares ming dynasty .’a the furniture seats or table tops, with the brown door and window trim reflected in the legs and uprights antique stanford refectory table with end leafs . Suggested color combinations are included in Chapter
Finishing Methods black stone top coffee table octagon antique . When it comes to the matter of application, there are many amateur painters who are either unmethodical in their procedures, or are so engrossed in appearance and color that they lose sight of the fact that the primary reason for painting any outdoor construction is to preserve it antique fluted leg desk . This is likely to result in the omission of large areas concealed from sight, which receive no benefit of a protective paint film antique rococo figurines . By upending the piece of furniture and painting the lower parts first, not only will the unseen surfaces receive their share of paint preservative, but much bending of back or knees will be avoided 16th century royalty dining room tables . Special attention should be paid to all sides and crevices of joints, where water can enter and remain to the detriment of end grains marcel breuer pel . A spray gun is most useful at these points antique sofa made in italy .
Furniture constructed from milled lumber that is to be stained or finished “natural” must have its pores thoroughly closed to resist the corrosive effects of weathering 17th cent refectory table . The matter of fillers and finishes is thoroughly covered in Chapter 5; it is well to remember, however, that a final coat of a good grade of exterior spar varnish is excellent weatherproofing antique 18th century soldiers chest . If spare time is rationed, it is good practice to coat the raw wood with raw linseed oil as partial protection until the final finish can be applied, at some later date art deco antiques contemporary world paris .
In conclusion it is suggested that the styling and, to some extent, the finish Of most outdoor furniture described in this chapter are such that it will render year-round recreational service indoors in the rumpus room, when seasonal changes curtain off the extra “outdoors room bronze+chrome+sculpure+josephine baker .” Peasant painting with a protection coating of spar varnish will enliven the recreational hours, both indoors and out antique apostle spoons .

Two characteristics strongly accented in most outdoor chairs are a strong, weatherproof type of construction and extreme concessions to comfort 1800’s reproduction dining room tables .

It may be desirable, particularly when boring into thin material, to cut a flat-bottomed hole makers of 1940’s american art deco furniture . This calls for a Forstner bit, which has its cutting edges oil the circumference of its end “the four continents” antique figures . Having no center point, it must be started by its circumference, unless an ordinary auger bit of the same diameter call be used first as a guide mother of pearl coffe table fake antique egypt .
Tapered holes can be made by boring with a bit whose diameter is equal to that of the small end of the hole, then enlarging the hole with a tapered bit gustavian chairs . This is not the same as counterboring, which means that for long screws the first hole, equal in diameter to the root (groove) of the screw, is bored the full length, and then a larger hole is bored for the smooth, larger shank of the screw napoleonic campaign chairs . Countersinking for concealing or leveling off a screwhead is accomplished by the use of a rose bit or reamer inlaid biedermeier square coffee table .

The woodworker who anticipates considerable dowel jointing will save himself much time and trouble by providing himself with a set of dowel plugs antique center drum tables . These are short lengths of each of the various sized dowels, equipped with marking nails that have been sharpened as markers after their heads have been filed off antique bugatti table . The nails can be centered by drilling a piece of thick waste the size of a short dow~I, which is then tapped into the hole antique enamel drop leaf table . The bit is reinserted in the hole until its point pricks the dowel end, thus marking the center rectangular gateleg table . A hole is drilled sligh ly undersize to receive the nail at this point ironstone antique price .
To cover hidden screws, the heads can be deeply countersunk and covered with a wooden plug, glued in place 19th century garden furniture . In driving the screw home, care must be taken to avoid bruising the edges of the counterbore art deco palissy dinnerware . A bit known as a “plug cutter” is available for cutting plugs across the grain from identical stock that is sligh ly thicker than the depth of the hole satinwood commode john cobb . Glue is applied to the bottom of the plug its grain aligned with that of the work, before it is driven vertically into the hole antique empire floral porcelain clock .

Screws rococo oak cabinet . Although old-time woodworkers scorned the use of any metal fastenings to secure or strengthen the parts of their assemblies, modern furniture makers use screws when the screwheads can be concealed, or leave them exposed where the effect is unimportant menu first entree dish . The choice of the proper sized screws for a particu ar job depends on the thickness of the thinnest piece to be joined and the kind of wood candle scissor stype snuffer marked italy . Too large a screw will split the stock, even if the correctly sized pilot hole was first bored dutch marquetry sutherland table .
Because there are two diameters to each screw, exclusive of the head, two holes should be bored reproduction potboard dressers . The first hole, or counterbore, to take the smooth shank of he screw, is bored to the depth of the shank plus the depth of the countersunk screw-head auction + vargueno cabinet .

WOOD JOINERY
After this brief survey of elementary woodworking operations, the ambitious craftsman may be assumed to have graduated from the Junior College of Carpentry be considered ready for matriculation in the University of Wood Joinery arc design in drawing room . It is well for him to reverence those ancient halls where once such masters as Thomas Chippendale, the Adam brothers, George Hepplewhite, Thomas Sheraton mahogany circle table with drawer . Duncan Phyfe, and others instructed eager contemporaries in an products were no stronger than their weakest joints art nouveau porcelain marks . Lest the hesitant neophyte be overcome by the implications of these famous traditions, however, let him be reassured by the fact that, although good joints are indeed the product of care”ul, unhurried workmanship, they are not necessarily the product of skill antique italian extendable table . The carfill planning of a logical procedure—a visualization of the various steps in their proper sequence—and the execution of the plan will insure success for the amat ur as well as the expert craftsman antique tripod tilt table leather inlaid .
Lap joints collecting antique brass candlesticks . After the plain butt joint (Figure 1 oval gate leg drop leaf antique tables .24), which has two squared surfaces butted together and fastened with glue, dowels, screws, or nails, and the sloping scarf joint (Figure 1 italian brass inlay sideboard .24), which is at best but a compromise, comes, in order of simplicity, the lap or halved joint (Figure 1 styles dressing tables .25) antique table telescoping . This joint is easy to saw, for as its name implies, it is made by cutting out equal halves from bath members so that when united, the joint is flush italian inlaid table blue . When the halved joint is cut from the ends of two members meeting a right angles, it is known as all “en(+p joint 15th century chamber pots .” If the members cross each other at right angles near their centers,he joint is termed a “cross-lap joint”; if the end of one member joins the other rear the middle, it is called a, “middle-lap joint elkington & co candelabra .”
In marking lap joints, the best method is to lay one member on top of the other and scribe the exact position where the joint is to be cut; the depth is ten marked on the sides with the marlinggage antique bread making furniture . End-lap joints call he cut out enti ely
with the back or tenon saw, the vertical cuts being made first; with the cross lap or middle lap, the waste must be removed with the chisel desing italian furniture .
For additional strength there is the wedge-shaped, beveled lap that can be entirely a sawing project; the tabled joint and the dovetail half lap are also illustrated vintage chinese porcelain with two swords marked . To prevent splitting under the dovetail, the more complicated lip joint is chiseled out as shown in the steps at the bottom of the diagram antique mother of pearl escutcheons .

A modification of this joint, where the lower member is of much thicker material, is the cogged or shoulder notch queen anne antique bureau photo . A more complicated version is sometimes used to join two hea~y members in a wedge halving antique british sideboards . A diak- onal bracing, termed “toe notching,” is sawed out to accommodate the joining of two members at an acute angle rococo eagle dresser .
The simple series of joints called notching is shown in Figure 1 antique dining fold over tables with leaves .26 b duke extendable dining table .
Miter joint antique + urn + spoons . As described in te section on planing, plain miter join s can be quickly and accurately sawed in a miter box antique sofa made in italy . Variations shown in the diagram (Figure 1 table consoul antiques caried or gold “rococo” .27) include miter~d half lap (on lap miter), the secret tenon miter, and, for maximum strength, t e dovetail tenon miter photo antiquities furniture in france . A favorite method of strengthening the plain miter after it has been glued and while it is still clamped is to saw a groove across the outer angle of the joint into which a “slip feather” or thin piece of veneer can be glued or “splined” in place antique candelabra 18th century . Another method of securing the miter is by means of a dovetail key from the underside elkington epergne centerpiece .
Mortise and Tenon staffordshire engine turned redware teapots 18th century . Although it is one of the oldest joints, the mortise and tenon (Figure 1 table octagon marquetry drawer .28) is also one of the strongest and, therefore, ubiquitous in furniture construction antique; english; knife urn . Both house and cabinet doors use this joint, and table legs are almost invariably joined to their aprons with a mortise and tenon value of hand painted wales china tea set .
The simplest form of this joint and the easiest to cut is the open tenon 17th century trestle table with claw feet . Like all other tenons this may be pegged, screwed, or nailed for added security antiques, sofa table, small proportions . The bridle joint is another version in which one member is joined near the middle with a form of open tenon myott son & co hanley .
From a construction standpoint, the simplest form is the through mortise and tenon, where the holes for the mortise can be bored entirely through the member antique oak tables with leaves . If preferred, a coping saw can be used to advantage in trimming 3ut the series of overlapping holes antique english creamware . For knockdown furniture the tenon is cut loner than the depth of the through mortise, the protruding extension being drilled

to receive a wedge or dowel, set close enough to the outer face of the inite:ed member to key the tenon firmly in place italian maiolica .
In most cases the tenon has one or more shoulders oil the side or sides against which the greatest stress is anticipate(> bulle clocks . For additional strength, when the stock is wide enough, double mortises and tenons are preferred, affording the advanta-es of two smaller mortises with stiff sides instead of one wide mortise with springy sides chest of drawers with seat . When grooved framing is used, a haunched tenon is cut to fill the gap made by the full-length groove antique rosewood wellington chest .
To cut a double haunched mortise and tenon, first square the stock, then with a try square lay out the tenon shoulders oil all four sides regency telescopic candlesticks . For the haunch, mark a second line a distance above the shoulder line approximately equal to he depth of the groove, if it is not too deep 19th century furniture feet . Gage the thickness of the tenons on he edges and end, and apply the same gage setting to the mortises in the other member to insure a clean fit old 17th century walnut tables . Last of all, gage the width of the tenons oil both fa6s and bore a hole at the base of the center division antique blue corner cabinet . The slot between the t -in tenons is not cut down entirely to the shoulder in the case of grooved mater al, for the same reason that a haunch is cut—to give added strength by filling he groove period dressing tables .

A through tenon can be wedged for added strength, as shown in the diagram (Figure 1 shu-fu pottery fakes .28) n hall norfolk . In this case, as well as in that of the blind-wedged tenon, the mortise must be cut slightly fan-shaped at its extreme end to accommodate the butt ends of the wedges gilbert rhode tubular stool .
Perhaps the most useful of the mortise and tenon joints for furniture construction is the mitered tenon, used to secure the maximum length of the two tenons meeting at corner mortises spanish table antique turned legs . These are common joints for securing the aprons of tables to the legs, and are nothing more than two haunched single or double tenons with their ends mitered as illustrated in Figure I-3o a roman gothic furniture .

A tight mortise and tenon joint can be assured without the se of glue and clamps by recourse to a jointing operation known as “drawbori empire hall bench .- This is accomplished by boring the holes for the pins, pegs or dowels throtgh the empty mortise, after which the tenon is inserted and marked through be center points of the holes vilas table .
When the tenon is withdrawn from the mortise, however, the holes are dri ed slightly nearer the tenon’s shoulders than indicated by the marks antique chinese brass salvers . The s mplest joint for uniting two members on eige at right angles is the rabbet joint, ost often encountered where a plywood pan;, is joined to the back of a cabinet by n-ils, screws, or a small molding antique german furniture for sale .
