A combination of a towel-roller and a mirror is now presented. Before proceeding with it, first procure the mirror itself. While the dimensions given are quite usual, yet there is no absolute standard among the makers. It would also be well to give some consideration to the towel supply and the required width, after which it is a very simple matter to determine the remaining dimensions of this convenient article.

The first object will be to make the rectangular frame with mortise connections, and then corner out the back edges around the opening to hold the glass. The vertical pieces, it will be noted, extend downward to hold the shelf-brackets, which may now be made ready. If a roller-towel is to be used, one bracket must have a hole clear through, so that the roller may be withdrawn. It then remains only to make the shelf and assemble the parts. Glue the mortises; fasten the other pieces with screws from behind, and glue.
