TELEPHONE BRACKET

This bracket is designed to hang on the wall at a suitable height to support the telephone, either for a person sitting or standing while talking. If fastened so that the upper shelf is about 30" from the floor, the bracket takes the place of a telephone table. The upper shelf supports the telephone, the lower shelf forms a pocket for the telephone directory. Before getting out the material for the bracket make sure that the pocket is large enough for the directory used in your locality. If not, the dimensions should be changed to suit.

A board }4" Xg}4"X4.o", is needed for the two shelves and the two ends. Plane one edge of this board straight, smooth, and square to the broad faces. Next mark off the width (9") and plane the second edge to the line. This procedure ensures your making all four pieces,

i.e., the two shelves, and two ends, of an equal width. This board may then be cut up to make the four pieces, care being taken to keep to the dimensions called for in the working drawing. The best method would be to square both ends of the board first, then mark off the length of one shelf from each end. These pieces may then be sawed off, and the ends trimmed to the lines. The pieces remaining should make the two ends. This may be left intact until after the pattern is drawn upon it, as it may be noted from the drawing that the ends are not squared, but modelled from an outline preferably designed by the individual workman.

The wood for the back should be 14" long, taken from a board slightly wider than 10". If it is difficult to obtain a board wider than 10",
