Wooden Box Build (Version 02)

1. Cut List:

• FRAME PIECES: Cut the 1"x2"x8" Board (or 1" x 1" Pine Square Dowel) into 4 pieces — 2 long (about 12") and 2 short (about 6") — with 45° angles on the end. The miter box makes it easy to cut angles, but you can also cut with a box knife OR skip the angles altogether and cut blunt ends

• BACKING PIECES: Cut 5 Cedar Shims slightly longer than the length of your long frame pieces. They should be able to overlap on the top and bottom when you line up the frame pieces into a rectangle.

• PEGS: Cut the square dowel into 3x 2in. pieces

2. MAKE THE FRAME: Glue the frame pieces together with the fast dry wood glue — hold the corners one at a time for a minute to let the glue set, or use clamps.

3. ADD THE BACK: Glue the Backing pieces onto the back of the frame, adding glue to the top and bottom of the piece & starting with the middle piece and working outwards

4. Space the 3 dowels evenly and glue them onto back panel of the frame with 4-5 drops of the fast dry wood glue, let dry for about 4-6 min (use sunglasses to measure placement if needed)

5. Optional — tape off the back of the frame, paint the frame and pegs white
