Deltagram Pier Cabinet with Shelves and Storage RAIL . 'MOULD This makes an attractive piece in either walnut or mahogany, and the construction is not at all difficult. There is a closed compartment at the bottom, and four adjustable shelves, the shelves being supported by the conventional shelf stops you can purchase at any hardware store. As can be seen in the drawing, the construction follows standard practice, with the back rabbeted into the side pieces and the top and bottom screw-fastened into place. Use dowels or mortise-and-tenon j oinery when fitting the top of the compartment. The work can be simplified by using metal angles on the underside as a means of support. A pair of 1 l/f by l/f brass butt hinges carry the door, which will also require a small friction catch to hold it in a closed position. The main ornamentation is the pediment. This is made up in two parts, the main body being 3/4" stock and the moulding somewhat heavier. The lighter piece should be band sawed to shape first; then the mould can be sawn to the right curve and later shaped on the drill press. The moulding is not shaped on the back side, but is left flat to glue flush to the lower portion. The two rails butt against the pediment, and are screwed in place about 7/l6n from the edge of the top. It is important that the holes for the shelf stops be in exact alignment, and to that end it is advisable to use some form of jig when boring these on the drill press. There are 22 stop positions, the centers being l3/8" apart and the same distance in from the edge and back of the cabinet. The stops should be purchased bef ore drilling the holes since the size varies from 3/l6n up. There is a bit of turning to do — four legs, a rosette for the pediment and a handle for the door. All of these can be chucked quite nicely on a single screw center. PW MOULD PACE.
