[Illustration: A one-pound coffee can is just right.
For better painting, scrape off all printed matter and wipe from can
before starting other work.
Can be painted with enamels, colored lacquer, or dope, but do not
try to use both on one job. They do not mix.]
[Illustration: Fasten together with glue and one screw.
The grooves in the cover and the base can be cut on a lathe, using a
face plate.
Fasten the cover to plywood with tacks. Put some thick shellac in
the groove.
“Nose” and “ears” should fit snug to can. Punch holes in tin and put
a coat of thick shellac on the wood when nailing ears to can.
Fasten base by pulling shellac in groove and fasten with small
brads.
