CO MANY readers have written
me to ask what could be made
from old phonograph cabinets, and
it is only recently that we have
found a really satisfactory answer.
This smart reading stand with
deep green leatherette top has
good proportions ard is made from
an old oak cabinet rubbed down
with sandpaper and then waxed.

In the next article we will show
how the lid of the old cabinet
was used.
The new top of the reading stand
is made of old lumber and the
cover is tacked in place with brass

top now houses a small radio and
the old record compartment keeps
