eights Spanifh wood, and work the hollow part of the bafe fe-
parate from the torus; then, from quarter fluff of the fame
kind, cut off flips for the torus; heat the caul well, and both
wet and heat the flips, which will then eafily bend. When the
hollow part is well tempered, and alfo the torus, begin at one
end, and by a thin chip run glue in between them ; and as you
go on drive in nails about every inch, having between the nails
and the moulding a thin flip of wainfcot well heated. Obferve
to let the moulding pafs beyond the caul at each end, that a
pack-flring may be tied to keep it to its place when it is taken
out. The torus may then be worked before it is glued on the
plinth.
A third method is, to make the plinth itfelf the caul, and
fir ft work the hollows, and foak them in water a whole night.
Next morning take a hand-iron and heat it well, and over the
curved fide of which bend the hollow as near as may be to the
fweep. Having already a flop fcrewed on the plinth, jump one
end of the moulding to it, and glue as you go on; at the fame
time fixing fmall hand-fcrews to draw it to, or brads may be
put through the fquare part to affifl in this bufinefs, if necef-
fary, for thefe will be covered by the torus. After the hollow
is fufficiently dry, the torus being worked off and well foaked,
and bent round the iron as above, it will glue to the hollow
without the finalleft difficulty, by firft jumping it againft the
