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.

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.
