After making these pieces to the respective dimensions comes the operation of combining these to agree with the draw- ing; here is an appeal to the constructive or order element in the brain, and to the finer muscular combinations. The tool proc- esses are first to secure with brads one of the long slats to the Ux piece at a distance of one and one-half inches from the end, having the end of the short piece even with the edge of the slat. This operation is repeated until each end of the two out- side slats is secured. Next, the inner two must be equally spaced between the two outside slats, keeping the ends on a line.

If the foregoing operations have been well performed, we have a neatly constructed model called a "flower-pot stand," in the making of which we have through tool performances developed mental and muscular quickening.
