This simple design for a dining room buffet should cause no trouble for any amateur who is reasonably skillful with tools. The working drawings appear on the opposite page. It is built of quarter sawed oak with mortise and tenon joints; the mortise and tenons were used in the original, but there is nothing to hinder the use of dowels, if it be so desired. Part of the work can better be done at some cabinet shop; that is, the cutting of the brackets and the front rail after they have been laid out on the board. The groove for the drawers will best be cut there. The construction has been set down as a series of eight rules. But rule three will be found to be the best of all.
