Attached is a AutoCAD drawing that I made of the box layout. I saved it as a PDF so that a lot more people could view it.

Square up the cardboard using the corrugation marks on the face of the cardboard. And then start to layout the cuts and folds on the cardboard blank. Double check all your measurements and layout marks. I even messed up on this and didn't layout the top of the box correctly. Live and learn.

Good instructable - but I hope you put something under the cardboard before you cut - it'd be a shame to cut through that hardwood floor!
