Construction

Make the legs, two 21 inches and two 25 inches long. Remove the cover and one side from the box. Cut each end down to a height of 6 inches. Nail on the legs, allowing them all to project 15 inches below the bottom (which is to form the seat) of the box. Place a seat support under each end, having its edge against the bottom, and nail both ends to the legs. Place the other support across between the front legs and nail it firmly. Stand the chair upon its legs. Trim the top edges of the back and the back legs until they are even, and nail on the back top. Saw off that portion of each front leg above the seat which projects inside the end face of the body of the chair, and fit and nail the arms on, having their inside edges even with the inside face of the body. It will be necessary to cut the rear end of the arm to let the rear leg in even with the inside edge of the arm. The front end of the arm may project 1/2 inch over the face of the leg.
