Step 5Cutting the lumber to size

Cutting the lumber to size
Depending on how many boxes you plan to build at one time, you might want to divide the construction process into stages. I had lumber for 38 boxes, so I opted to begin by cutting all of the pieces to size.

No matter what kind of saw you use, be sure to use proper safety procedures throughout - power tools are fun, but their improper use can be fatal! Here, I set up a brake at the proper spot along the bench to safely and consistently cut 22" pieces, which will form the back of the box.
