In making the brush rack shown in Fig. 1, a piece of oak, walnut, or mahogany about Jin. thick and a little larger than the dimensions shown may be used. In setting out, commence with the middle line; then draw in the outline; and, lastly, fill in details. The small curves can be worked by the brace and bit. If preferred, the semicircle on top can be worked separately and glued on. The opening in the centre is for a mirror measuring 6 1/2 in. by 4 1/2m. The gilt slip overlaps the hole about iin., and the moulding overlaps the outside edge of the gilt slip about iin. (see Fig. 2). If this cannot be managed neatly, substitute a piece of plain moulding without a rebate. Large brass hooks should be screwed in the positions shown by -he crosses. The hooks underneath the glass may hold a small hat brush.
