Step 8Assemble the face
i'm using the pine 1x2 as an interior frame to give the face strength and to hold the whole thing together.
i cut six pieces to 21 3/4" and six pieces to 23 1/4" with the chop saw.
next, i marked my 2 5/8" face strips with lines showing me where the pine strips should go. i placed my pine strips 3/8" from the interior of the frame.
i centered the 21 3/4" pine piece lenght-wise on the 18" piece of chip board along the lines i just marked and put a screw on each end to hold it in place. then i butted a 27 3/4" piece under the pine strip, held it tight and added a scew. i repeated this process on the other side and all around, really. again, hopefully the photos will make more sense than my explaination. point being that it's this pine frame that's going to give strength and stability to the face of youe box. again, measure it to make sure it's square before you add too many screws.
you should sand this now too.
