Marking Out Where to Place Your Hinges

First you'll need to decide where you are going to position your hinges and how many your gonna use, for mine I decided to use two hinges both of which are 1.5" from the end of the box.

Nailing in the Hinges to the Big Part of the Box

I found that it was easier to nail the hinges to the big part of the box first.

Nailing the Hinges to the Second Part

I found when nailing the hinges into the small part of the box it was easier to temporarily hold the box together with elastic bands.
