Rip Boards
Make Spacer Jig
Assemble Jig
Step 1 - Use four 1" x 4" x 8' pine boards
for the box sides and ends (A, B). Select
boards with tight knots and a pleasing grain
pattern. Cut two 32" lengths from each of
the boards. You will have 8 side pieces total.
However, do not cut the 14" lengths for the
box ends from the remainder of the boards
at this time.
Step 2 - Joint one edge of the eight 32" side pieces,
as well as the 2 remaining lengths of boards.
Step 3 - You may ind quite a bit of width
variation between boards. Because of the
interlocking corner construction (inger
joints) of the box carcass, the lumber must
be identical in width. Rip the boards to a
common width on the table saw, but take
of as little as possible, using the narrowest
board as the standard, as shown in
photo A.
Step 4 - Cut two 14" sections from each of
the four remaining lengths. Do not discard
the waste cutofs. ese cutofs will be used
to make a jig for gluing up the sides and
ends in step 5.

Step 5 - To make the spacer jig, lay a box
end out on a surface, and insert 3 waste
pieces between every other board, as shown
in photo B. Take a scrap piece of 4" x 4"
x 17" lumber, and screw from the back into
the spacer jig pieces, as shown in photo C.
is jig will ensure the proper amount of
overlap for the inger joints and will keep
the assembly square during the gluing
process.
Step 6 - Apply wood glue (N) to the edges
of the boards, as shown in photo D, taking
care not to apply glue to the surfaces of the
sides and ends that overlap to form the
inger joints. Loosely clamp the assembly
together. Insert the spacer jig in between

the boards, making sure that everything
is tight, and tighten the clamps, as shown
in photo D inset. Remove the spacer jig
before the glue sets up, and move on to the
next assembly.
Step 7 - After the glue has set up, latten
the surfaces of the sides and ends using a
belt sander or a planer, as shown in photo
E. Assemble the box for a test it, making
sure the box is square and the inger joints
it. Because of the sanding, the interlocking
ingers of the corners may “stand proud” of
the box surface, but that will be taken care
of after the inal assembly. Perform the
inal inish sanding on the interior surfaces
of the box at this time.

Step 9 - Fasten the strips onto the end units,
making sure that the edges line up with the
indented portion of the corner and that the
top of the strip is lush with the top of the
box corner, as shown in photo H.
Step 10 - Apply glue to the mating surfaces
and assemble, as shown in photo I. We
used liquid hide glue (O) for this step
because of the extended set-up time. Use
as many clamps as necessary to square the
structure before screwing it together, as
shown in photo I insets. After the glue has
cured, move to another end.
Step 11 - When the box joints are cured,
sand the inger joint extension lush with
the surfaces of the sides and ends if needed.
Use a 8" round-over router bit to round
over the corners and bottom edge of the
box, as shown in photo J.

Step 12 - Cut the end and back lid frame
cleats (D, E) to the dimensions given in
the material list. Install the cleats lush
with the top edge, using glue and screws,
as shown in photos K and K inset. ese
cleats will be used to fasten the lid frame to
the box carcass.
Step 13 - Cut the lid frame back (F) and
lid frame sides (G) to the dimensions given
in the material list. Refer to the lid frame
drawing for the biscuit locations. Cut the
#0 biscuit slots (Q), as shown in photo L.
Glue and clamp, making sure the frame is
square. When the glue joints have cured,
round the outside front corner of the frame
ends, and run a 8" round-over bit along
the outside top edges of the lid frame. en
sand the exposed portions.
Step 14 - Cut the top upright (H) to the
dimensions given in the material list.
