Hobby worktable 1-½ X 8-½ X 12"

TRAY
Here's the handiest worktable the
hobbyist, would-be artist or finger painter
could ask for. Consisting of a rolling ta-
boret which parks under a slant-top draw-
ing table, the two-piece affair provides a CLEAT
safe storage compartment (under a lift-
off top) for wet, unfinished paintings, and
storage galore for all kinds of artist sup-
plies in two roomy drawers and a hinged-
door compartment. The drawing table re-
mains affixed to the wall by four angle
3-½"
brackets, while two caster-fitted blocks
attached to the taboret let you wheel it in
and out, yet it stays put when in use.
Both sections are made nearly all of ply-
wood. The bottom of the traylike compart-
ment of the drawing table is ¼-in, ply-
wood set in ¼-in.-deep grooves cut in
facing surfaces of the slanting legs. 4-½"
The top of the taboret was cut from a
Formica-covered countertop cutout. It's
dadoed on the underside to fit over the
back and side panels. Side panels are
rabbeted along the bottom to house the WOOD
bottom panel; along rear edges to house PLUG 1¼" NO. 7 SCREW
