I used a steel ruler, pencil and a piece of wood to make a full size working drawing of my box because on the drawing when we make a mistake we can always fix it but when we just start cutting the wood we cannot fix that. I used a steel ruler, pencil, wood and a tri-square to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the piece of wood we had to create our design. I then marked a square line (at 90°) across using the steel ruler and the pencil. I cut off the first piece of wood using a saw and a bench hook, I then marked out the joint so then I could cut it and use the chisel to get a join of the wood. After making my first joint I then made sure that my longer piece of wood had fit into the joint and at first it was very tight then I just carried on and made my second joint, both of them were very tight so I asked help and Mr Grundy cut a bit out of the joint and it fit perfectly. Later Mr Grundy out 2 piece of wood so that when we put all the pieces together they made a box, and now I'm waiting for the box to dry. The next step is the lid which Mr Grundy then got a MDF (medium density fibreboard) and cut it to the length of my box and the width of the outside of my box, he then got a piece of wood and cut it to the inside of my box. Now I'm waiting for the lid to dry because Mr Grundy put glue on so that they could stick together really well.
