Book 3 — Linoleum Panels for a Homemade Chest
Reading edition
A strong packing box was converted into a useful and not unsightly chest by covering it with panels of linoleum left over from a job of covering a floor. Strips, ¹⁄₂ by 2 in. wide, were nailed around the corners of the box to form a panel on the top, sides, and ends. The wood and the linoleum were shellacked, and made a good appearance.
¶The lower corner of an envelope may be used as a small funnel.
