Recommended Posts

What do you have for tools already?

Im doing it in my grandpa's shop he has all the tools in the world he runs his own business form the shop lol.

But i though all i need for tools was a circle saw and a router.

Use his table saw if he's got one :)

You'll need to either use a circle jig for the router or make one.

Right angle clamps can come in handy, but they're not required.

A brad nailer speeds up construction significantly, but again, it's optional.

i usually glue the peice down put 3 nails it it with a nail gun to hold it temporarily, then i predrill holes and use screws to finish it off

I do the same as RobClay...actually exactly the same...seems to work the best....also when everything is put together nailed drilled screwed....run an extra bead of wood glue in the corners....always seems to strengthen and seal the box very well!!!! HAPPY BUILDING!!!

silicone the inside for seal, go crazy with glue just fill gaps, yeh basically a nice tight fit, pre drill counter sync screws
