Also, while the installation of the rail sides and panels
was described in Part II, these operations were not
shown, they are in this part. In Fig. 1 is shown a
simple method of properly positioning the rail sides;
they are clamped loosely to the reinforcing strips of
the table top, then accurately located by using a block
of wood of the thickness of the rail tops. The notched
blind panels are next installed, being positioned with
their upper edges flush with the upper edges of the rail
sides, as in Fig. 2. Note also in Fig 2 that the notch
is not too neat or exact. It is covered with a panel of
V-i-in. hardwood-plywood as in Figs. 3 and 9. The rail

this free book may
lead to personal independence
We have now made it easy for anyone to get started in a business of his own.
"The business is made to order for the man who likes to work with his hands
in addition to using his head. While the work does not call for heavy manual
labor, the man who is quick with his hands gets the job done faster, collects
his money and moves on to the next service job. This means that he is able
to get more done in a day and earn more money for every hour he puts in.
The book I want to send you tells all about this business. It shows the way
to start in spare time without giving up your job — how to build to a profit of
$250 for 40 hours of personal service. No office or shop is needed as all the work
you do can be done in the home of your customers. The book also shows
how you can start for only a few hundred dollars and how we finance the
balance which you pay in small monthly payments. Mail the coupon now

clear so you need not get close

to identify them. This matter of
seeing heights and distance may
seem unimportant if you have not
reached the bifocal age, (the mid-
forties), but some day it will. If
you use bifocals now, you realize
how important it is to arrange
work to minimize the need for
tilting your head and crowding
close to permit using the bifocal
part of the lens.
If you can work in your home
shop, even after a hard day on
your regular job, with complete
visual comfort — whether you wear
glasses or not — your eyes quite
likely are in good condition. How-
ever, if you find yourself making
mistakes when you get tired, or
your eyes get blurry and headaches

of working in your shop, better

DISCOVERS A RICHLY REWARDING NEW NATIONAL PASTIME!

"There's a new indoor pastime I'd been introduced to recently that has me wondering where it's been all my
life. Until I outfitted the basement of my new home with a set of American Machine power tools, I had no idea
how much fun it could be to make things out of wood — nor how easy it can really be. I am constantly amazed
with the accuracy, speed and ease with which I can now make useful and beautiful things for the house, for
the kids — and for my own pleasure and convenience. I don't know how they do it, but the remarkable low cost
of these professional quality toots has taken nothing away from their ability to do a job."

 HOW YOU CAN BEAUTIFY YOUR
KITCHEN WITH CASTOGLAS
Co stag las was used imaginatively in a number of different
ways in transforming a dark and outmoded kitchen into a
bright and cheerful combination kitchen -breakfast room:
1. fat covering the flakeboard countertop to produce a glass-
iike surface. Photos below illustrate how it was done,
2. For "glazing''' the Mahogany and Maple wood tiles and
permanently laminating the leaves and grasses upon them and
also the paper napkins (the paper becomes invisible and the
design remains).
3, For casting standard tile-size solid blocks of Costoglas in
ceramic maids and embedding butterflies in them, (and, of
course, almost anything else you wish to embed).
4, For laminating the beautiful translucent glass panels, which
serve as dividing screens, with embedments of bamboo leaves,
5* For casting the brilliantly colored fish sculptures — a Very
fascinating new project.
6. For making distinctive trays with handpainted rooster de-
signs (you paint them yourself) like the one on the kitchen
counter at right.
Welly there you have it. And these ore only a few of the truly
fascinating possibilities Castoglas offers you.

Pour Yourself a
KITCHEN COUNTER AND TABLE TOP
And Cast Unique Wall Tiles with Embedments of Real Leaves,
Grasses, flowers, colorful butterflies, seashells, coins, travel mementos and other
objects of personal interest. You can also permanently encose metol, foil, wire,
glass, fabrics and paper and combine these castings and laminates with alt kinds
of other materials. Versatile? You have never seen anything like it! And equally
amazing is the easy way this wonderful stuff can be worked

CASTOGLAS POURS LIKE HONEY AND SETS LIKE GLASS

WITHIN 60 MINUTES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

You can cast it, laminate it, flow it on or paint with it. You can mix your own
transporent, translucent or opaque colors. No heat or pressure is required and
hence no special tools and no equipment We furnish all needed materials and
complete illustrated directions. The Cost? A mere fraction of conventional materials
—one of the first things you'll discover for yourself.

OUR NEW BOOKLET

"How You Can Beautify Your Kitchen With Castoglas"
Is full of endting do-it-yourself ideas, that are practical and economical and com-
pletely different from anything you hove e^er read or seen before* For your copy
please mail 25c to Dept. R-9.
THE CA5TOUTE COMPANY Woodstock, Illinois

CASTOGLAS IS WATERPROOF, STAIN PROOF, FADEPROOF AND UNAFFECTED

BY: boiling water, hot pats or pans, alcohol, vinegar, fruit juice, hot grease,
tea, coffee, milk, oils, naphtha, cleaning fluids, benzene, gasoline, ink, dyes,
pigments, wok crayon, lead pencil, to name but just a few. Withstands all
kinds of abuse. WilJ not "waterspot" and is as easily cleaned with a damp
cloth as any gloss surface.

HOW TO COVER THE KITCHEN COUNTER WITH CASTOGLAS— lee photos clean-sanded wood and covered with Laminating film. Castoglas hardens
from left to right: Counter is mode of inch thick flakeboard with border in about one hour. Film is stripped off and finished counter has appear-
of wo/nut files. Hardener is mixed with liquid Castoglas, poured over ance of plate glass bonded to wood.
