How to Build it!


STEP-BY-STEP
BUILDING A BOX
A B
Before you get started, youll want to measure out and cut the parts shown in the Cutting Diagram on the other side of these plans.
For later attaching the frame

NOTE: To make painting your toy box easier, you might consider prepainting all of the parts before you assemble the box. 1. Start by drilling all of the Pocket Holes as shown in the left drawing. Youll drill holes to fasten the sides to the front and back pieces (Parts A & B). The row of holes at the top will be used to attach the frame around the top edge of the box. 2. Use glue and a Kreg Right Angle Clamp to help hold the side pieces in place as you drive the Pocket Hole screws. Take some care not to overdrive the screws into the relatively soft MDF.

TIP:

ADDING THE BOTTOM


3. The bottom of the box is supported by four cleats that are simply glued to the inside of the box, as you can see on the right. Start with the two long cleats. Make sure to drill the four Pocket-Holes along the top edge that will be used for fastening the bottom in place. 4. Cut the two shorter cleats to fit between the long cleats, drill the Pocket-Holes that will be used to fasten the bottom, and then glue them in place. 5. Cut to bottom piece (Part E) and set it in place. Drive the Pocket-Hole screws carefully to fasten it down to the cleats.

To get some help making right-angle joints, view the SkillBuilder 90 0 Panel Joints section on the Kreg Jig DVD.

TOP FRAME
6. The next thing youll do is cut the four pieces for the top frame. Drill two Pocket-Holes at each end of the two shorter pieces (Part F) (see drawing at right). Aim to drill the holes toward to center of the rail so that they will be hidden by the outside frames youll add later. 7. Now you can attach the top frame to the box. The key here is to center the frame on the box from side-to-side and front-to-back.

FACE FRAMES
8. The toy box is finished off with a face frame on each side. Youll build them just like you did the top frame. You can see how they go together in the drawing at right. Youll build two identical side frames and identical frames for the front and back. 9. Finally, you can glue the frames to the box, starting with the side frames. You can use a couple of small nails to help hold the frames in place while the glue dries.
