.
Tools and Materials:
wood glue
table saw with dado blade
drill press (or band saw)
rubber mallet
pneumatic nailer
safety glasses
dust mask
finishing nails
3-inch trim screws
drill with screwdriver attachment
cleats
1/2-inch plywood
2x4s

Steps:
1. First cut 2x4s to size for the frame. Carve tenon joints
(figure A) and mortise joints (figure B) on the ends of
the 2x4 framing pieces. Use a table saw with a dado
blade to cut the tenon joints and use either a drill press
or band saw to carve mortise joints. Always wear eye
protection and a dust mask when working with power
tools.

2. Before assembling the frame, cut side pieces out of
beadboard 7-3/4 inch wide and then cut the pieces to
length.
3. Apply wood glue along the tenons and tap the pieces
together to assemble the end pieces.

4. Before capping off the end pieces, slide pre-cut
beadboard sections into grooves cut along the inside of
the pieces and tap final frame piece into place using a
hammer and scrap piece of wood (figure C).
5. Finish the end pieces using a pneumatic nailer with
finishing nails to hold the pieces together.

6. Assemble the front and back pieces the same way as
the end pieces. Then attach all four sides together using
3-inch trim screws (figure D).
7. Next, attach cleats around the bottom of the box using
the pneumatic nailer. Finally, attach the 1/2-inch plywood
bottom to the cleats (figure E).

8. Begin assembling the backrest frame by drilling pilot
holes in the frame. Then use 3-inch screws to assemble
the pieces of the frame together. Next, attach a 2x4 piece to the back of the toy box as the
bottom of the back frame.
9. Slide the rest of the frame into place and attach it to the back of the toy box (figure F).
10. With the frame in place, use a router with rabbet bit to make a groove to support the
beadboard panel.
11. Apply glue all around the groove and put the back in place (figure G) and secure the back
with finishing nails using the pneumatic nailer.
12. Attach the piano hinge to the lid using the supplied screws. These are small screws so
make sure when tightening the screws you don t strip them out. You have to have a small
clearance between the lid and box to open and close the lid (figure H).
13. Attach a lid support designed for toy boxes to provide protection against slamming (figure
I).
14. Prime and paint toy box as desired. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
