How to build a Tagtool Mini

Step 3 Building the wooden box

This step shows how to build the case of the Tagtool Mini. You can choose any size you want. We tried to make it small, but with ample space for the faders, the pushbutton and the Arduino board.

Picture 1
Sand all measured and cut wooden parts.

Picture 2-6
Glue on the slats and staple them to the side boards.
Pay attention to the gap of the slats on one of the side pieces, to accommodate the Arduino (Picture 6).

Picture 7-10
Cut out (or drill out) a small hole for the plug of the Arduino.

Pictures 11-12
Glue and staple the bottom board onto the side boards of the box.

Picture 13
Measure and mark the positions of the screws that fix the top plate.

Picture 14-15
Drill the holes for the screws and widen the opening slighty with a larger drill to make space for the heads of the screws.

Picture 16-18
Fix the top plate with just some of the screws, so you can sand the whole box.

Now the base or the Tagtool Mini case is finished. Ready for the next step.
