Square Wooden Box With Lid, One Board Contest

IMG_8231.jpg

I made this to store items in a workshop so that way the tools and such does not clutter my working space and stops accidents from occurring like a screw driver hitting what I am working on while I am cutting something and making me mess up my cut and etc. Additionally I figured it could help with organization because in a shop usually stuff is not that organized and just stuffed places.

Supplies

Table saw

Drill

1 screw head

1 screw hole drill bit

1. 1 by 8

1 piece of plywood 21 in 1/2 by 2 ft 1 in 1/2

like 25 or so screws about 3 in long

2 hinges about 5 in long

1st measure 3 pieces of 1 by 8 to the measurements of 7 in by 2 ft 1 in 1/2 and a piece of plywood same length as the others

  1. Then measure 2 pieces of 1 by 8 to 14 in long
  2. Then measure a piece of plywood to about 2 ft 1 in 1/2 by 14 1/2
  3. Then cut them all out and put 1 of the 3 pieces of the 1st measurements along with one of the pieces of the 14 in long one screw them together
  4. Then put the 14 in long piece on the other side with like 2 screws on each end connecting to the middle piece
  5. Then put 2 pieces of the 1st step in the middle of the two ends if it does not fit cut it to where it fits snugly
  6. Then screw them in at the bottom but not outside of the U you have made before then screw it in put like 2 screws per each board on each end connecting to the side boards.
  7. Then screw in the one plywood board that is talked about in the 1st step at the end so it is a rectangle put like 2 screws on each of the sides and 2 screws in the middle at the bottom
  8. Then put on the hinges on the side piece the thicker and longest one and put however many screws in however many screw holes
