obferve that n follows 7, becaufe it proceeds from the point 11
on the front of the cafe; therefore take the fpace from n on
the perpendicular line to where the parallel cuts the diagonal,
and place it on the perpendicular at No. 1. Like wife take 8
and 10 in the fame manner. As for 9, it is loft, becaufe that*
divifion on the front of the knife-cafe falls on the right line,
and, of courfe, has no projection. Laitly, through all the points
on each perpendicular at No. 1, draw a curve line, which will
anfwer to the fedtion of the knife-cafe, if it be cut anfwerable
to the bevel line 10.1 on the plan of the cafe.
The dark fhade eab, at No. 1, fhews half the veneer or
covering of the knife-cafe; and if a piece of ftrong paper be cut
double, according to the boundaries of the dark fhade, it will
ferve as a pattern to cut the knife-cafe open by, and likewife to
cut the veneer by, before it is glued down. The infide veneer
for the front of the top may alfo be cut near enough by it,
though it will vary a little; but this defect is not equal to the
advantage of hiving the infide veneer pretty nearly cut to the
fweep, becaufe it will then glue down much eafier, and be lefs
liable to fplit.
From what has been faid on this Problem, the ingenious
workman may apply the rules and obfervations to other pur-
pofes that may be of more importance than the cutting and
* veneering
