the third the same distance from the top. The other upright piece to the panel is treated in the same way. On two of these crosspieces there are nailed, at equal distances apart, little pegs to hold the spools. Cup hooks are fastened on the under side of one crosspiece to hold the bags. Make the other panel of the screen in the same way, only making mortises and tenons for three crosspieces instead of four. The first crosspiece on this panel is put 1" from the bottom; the second, 16-1/2" from the first; and the third piece 4-1/2" from the second. Hinge the drop door on the top edge of the last crosspiece and hinge the bracket to support the drop door in the center of crosspiece. Put the handles on each screen with the 4-1/2" No. 5 screws. Hinge the two panels together and cover the outside of screen burlap, using the brass-headed tacks for this purpose. The frame must be sandpapered, stained, and polished before the burlap and pockets are put on. The creton pockets are put on the inside of screen about halfway the panel.
