Requirements

Body. 1 Bluing Box, 63/8 in. deep, 11 1/8 in. wide, 13 in. long.

Legs. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 1/8 in. wide, 4 in. longer than the height of the box. 4 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 11/2 in. wide, 4 in. longer than the height of the box.

Handle Arms. 2 Strips 3/8 in. thick, 1 1/2 in. wide, 3 in. longer than the width of the box.

Construction

Make the legs .4 inches longer than the height of the box. Remove the cover and one side of the box. Place a leg at each corner and nail firmly, allowing each leg to project 2 inches both above and below the box. Set the heads of the nails well in and clinch the points on the inside. Use a light hammer and the brad-awl if necessary, as the material, being thin, is liable to split. Place the handle arms flat side down on top of and across the legs, having the outer edge even with the outside face of the legs, each end projecting equally over the front and rear face of the legs. Use long, slender wire brads for securing the handle arms to the legs, driven from the top through the arms into the tops of the legs. Do not fail to place a well-driven nail through the front legs into the edge of the bottom, as indicated by the dots in the illustration.
