This model gives drill in planing with the additional exercises of laying out the corners and sawing to the knife and gauge lines. To these are added the laying out and cutting the opening for the broom. A good way to work out this recess is to bore two 3/4-in. holes and after cutting away the wood with a turning saw, finish to the lines with a 3/4-in. inside bevel gouge for the concave parts and the chisel on the convex. It may in some cases be necessary to use the knife before sandpapering and the pupils can be shown that the best work is made ready for sand-paper with the edged tools, not torn away with a file. Where boys are not capable of working out the opening it can be omitted and the piece used for a shelf and brush rack by putting in three hooks on the under side.
