1. Reduce all pieces to finished dimensions.
2. Nail the ends to the bottom by using three nails at each joint.
3. Nail the boards for the back in place and bevel the upper edge of the upper board so that the roof will fit on it snugly.
4. Bevel the lower edge of the front board to fit against the end boards; fasten with three nails at each end and bevel the upper edge same as upper edge of back.
5. Nail the front board at bottom and bevel its upper edge.
6. Fasten the top by driving two nails into each end board and four into the back.
7. Nail the cleats to the door using at least six 6d common nails for each cleat. The nails should be driven at a slant so as not to come thru.
8. Cut notches in the upper edges of front to receive the cleats when the door is closed.
9. Fasten hinges to door and door to top.
10. Bevel the top edge of the lower door to fit front; fasten door by placing the strap part of the hinges against the box and bevel the front edge of the door.
11. Fasten the three perches to the lever, by driving two 6d finishing nails thru the lever into each end.
12. Place the levers driving a one and three-quarter inch, No. 10 roundhead blued wood screw thru its center, and into the end of the hopper at points shown in the drawing.
13. Fasten a screw eye into the upper edge of one lever at the front end, and another into the upper front edge of the lower door.
14. Make a pulley for the cord by sawing a two-inch circle with the coping saw; cut a groove to receive the cord in the face of the pulley with round file or chisel. Bore a hole thru the center of the pulley the size of a two-inch, No. 10 screw and fasten in position shown in drawing.
15. Fasten cord to screw eyes and run over the pulley.
