Music Cabinet: Lumber required 12 ft. 1 in. x 12 in.. 6 ft. 1 in. x 4 in., 2 ft. 1-2 in. x 9 in., 14 ft. 1-2 in. x 1 in. and 4 ft. 1-2 in. x 12 in.

Note that the top and bottom shelves are rabbetted 1-4 in. into the sides, and held by screws from the outside covered by plugs.

The door is made with panel 1-2 in. thick. The three middle shelves are adjustable, that is, may be set at any height by cutting notched uprights of the 1-2 in. x 1. in. material and screwing them to the sides of the case, as shown in side view at (a), and cross pieces to fit in these notches and support the shelves at (b).

The shelves are not fastened at all but the corners cut out to fit round these uprights and rest on the cross pieces (b). The support under the lower shelf (c) is simply fitted in and fastened with screws from underneath.

It will look well to set the door in about 1-8 of an inch from the front edge of the sides and top and bottom shelves. Piece (c) should also be set in 1-8 of an inch. The back should be fitted between the sides and fastened with screws covered by plugs.

Any kind of catch may be used, but a square wooden knob bevelled to a point on the outside and cut to fit a round hole and fastened with glue in the door, as illustrated at (d), will appear best. If this knob is used get a friction catch and set it in the top of the door.
