Requirements

Body. 3 Soap Boxes (about 103/4 in. deep, 14 1/4 in. wide, 20 in. long).

Legs. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 3/8 in. wide, 6 in. longer than the outside length of the boxes. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 3/4 in. wide, 6 in. longer than the outside length of the boxes.

Tops. 2 Pieces 1/2 in. thick, 2 in. wider than the outside depth of the box with the cover removed, 2 in. longer than the outside width of the box.

Facing Strip Legs. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 3/4 in. wide, 6 in. longer than the outside length of the long boxes.

Construction

Make the legs 6 inches longer than the length of the boxes. Remove the covers from all and one end from each of two boxes. Use the removed end of each of these boxes as a shelf for each. Stand these two boxes on their closed ends and place and nail the shelves in them at a height to correspond with the top side of the third box when the third box is placed on its side. Stand the third box on end, and upon its upper end place one of the other two boxes, both open compartments facing the same way. Set the end face of the first box even with the outside face of the third box, match their edges, and nail them together. Turn these two boxes upside down; place and nail the second box to the other end of the third box in the same manner, having the open ends of the first and second boxes facing the same way. Nail on the legs, two at each end of the stand, keeping their upper ends even with the top edge of the end sections of the stand. Turn the stand upon its legs and nail a top on each end section, allowing the top to project 5/8 inch over the outside face of the legs at the front, rear, and end. Nail on the facing strip legs, two on the front and two at opposite points on the rear side, so placed that their edges will project evenly over the abutting edges of the boxes.
