This is a very simple model, given to enable the pupil to get some practice in planing a larger piece of wood than has been previously attempted. A piece of wood 2 ft. long, 41/2 ins. wide, and 3/4 in. thick will be required, and after planing it true to dimensions with jack, trying, and smoothing planes, the end curve should be made as in the previous model, and the hole bored by which the board is to be hung.

Fig. 145.

In gauging the width of this model on the wood, an alternative method of gauging may be taught. Fig. 145 shows this form of gauging. A spare piece of wood may be given to the pupil to practice on. Hold the wood in the right hand, pressing the further end against the bench stop, and gauge with the left hand.
