Construction

Make the legs 30 inches long. Remove the cover from the larger box. Nail a leg to each corner of this box, allowing the ends to project exactly 6 inches on one side. Turn in an upright position upon its legs.

Remove one side from the smaller box and nail the cover down level and securely. Set this box between the long projecting ends of the legs, keeping its top even with the top ends of the legs, and nail the legs to it. Have the open sides of the boxes facing the same way. Place the top in position, keeping the rear edge even with the face of the legs and projecting evenly at the front and ends, and drive the nails near the edges and into the sides of the box, so they will not be exposed either inside or outside.

Make the doors. The face of each door is to be even with the face of the legs. The length of the doors will be the distance between the legs, and the depth will be the outside depth of the box. Hang the upper door from its top by the 1 1/2 inch butts, one half of the butt being secured to the face of the door and the other half to the under side projecting edge of the top. Put the cleats on the lower door and hang with the tee hinges screwed to the face of both legs and door. Place pull-knob on upper door 1 1/2 inches and on lower door 2 1/2 inches from the edge of the door. Small spring catches or buttons may be placed on the doors if desired to hold them closed.
