Equipment

  • saw
  • nail gun
  • ruler
  • sanding block

Ingredients

  • 1 x 4 pine board
  • 1 x 6 pine board
  • wood glue
  • paint or stain of your choice

Instructions

  • For the sides of this board we used a 1 x 4 pine board and measured it to 14 inches.
  • He used a square to make a straight line.
  • He cut the board with a Dewalt Circular Saw.
  • We took that board and measured the second board to make sure they would be the same size.
  • For the bottom board we used a 1 x 6 and measured it to 12.5 inches, again using a square to make a straight line.
  • He cut that with our Dewalt Circular Saw.
  • He took the bottom board and used it to measure a 1 x 4 to make the sides so they would be the same length.  The piece measured approximately 5.5 inches.
  • He cut 2 of those.
  • We then sanded the cut edges and all of the boards to get them smooth and ready for staining.
  • We glued each edge with Elmer’s Wood Glue that would be connecting together.
  • After each board was glued in place we used our nail gun to secure it.
  • Paint or stain your box and let dry
