WALL CABINET FOR THE KITCHEN

(Made from Dry Goods Boxes)

A comfort to the housewife is a kitchen cabinet, containing different compartments for spices and such accessories necessary in cooking. It is made of boxes and should be put at some place convenient to the work table so the woman will not have to move to get these things when preparing a meal. It surely fulfils the old adage, "A place for everything and everything in its place."


Materials:

1 box of the required dimensions to build the body.
12 salt boxes used as drawers in the compartments.
1/3 lb. 8-penny nails to be used in the construction of the cabinet.
12 round-head screws to be used as knobs.
Sandpaper and stain.

Dimensions:

Body: 1 box 4-3/4" deep × 13-1/4" wide x 18-1/4" long.

Shelves: 4 pieces 3/8" thick × 4-3/4" wide × 12-1/4" long.

Drawers: 12 salt boxes, 4" × 4" × 4".
