Wooden Box Project

By Jashan Sidhu
Step 1
• I made sure I had enough
wood for my piece when I
originally received it because I
intended to create.
Step 2

• Using the plainer, I created my piece in

Paraland. I took care to wear goggles and ear
protection. After inserting the wood into the
plater and adjusting the wheel until it
gripped the wood, I switched the machine on
and forced the piece of wood through. I took
care not to stare into the machine itself in
case one of the parts flew out and struck me.
Nor did I stick my fingers into the device.
After that, it moved to the opposite side,
picked up the piece, and continued turning
the handle quarter turns until the piece was
precisely parallel.
Step 3

• Using a mitre saw, I cut my piece to the

dimensions I determined for the box's walls. I
protected my hearing and eyes with goggles. To
get the ideal cut, I used the stop block by using a
ruler to measure out the size I needed and lined it
up with the blade and stop block. After that, I
climbed the stop block and carefully placed my
piece up against it so that my measurement
wouldn't be ruined. After flipping the lever that
controls whether it moves forward or backward, I
was able to firmly hold onto my piece.After that, I
lowered the saw, cut the piece, and didn't raise it
again until it had completely stopped. I got all my
pieces cut by Ithen.
Step 4

• I formed my dado lines by pressing

my parts up against a level surface. To
determine where to cut, I measure
the inside and draw a straight line
across the middle of the piece.
Step 5

• To create the indentations where the box

components will fit, I utilized the dado. I
protected my hearing and eyes with safety
eyewear. To make sure I cut where I needed to, I
adjusted both my height and the little barrier. I
then rolled up my sleeves to prevent them from
catching and severing my parts. To make sure I
got a nice cut, I went over it a few times.
Step 6

• I use the mitre saw to cut my base.I

protected my hearing and eyes with
goggles. Utilizing the stop block, I
determined the size To achieve an exact
cut, align the ruler with the blade and stop
block. After that, I climbed the stop block
and carefully placed my piece against it,
being careful not to knock it too hard so as
to not skew my measurement.
Step 7

• Using a table saw, I cut every

component to fit the location of my base.
After only cutting once or twice, I checked
that my base would fit into the piece by
adjusting the fence, and then I cut every
piece. I put on hearing and eye
protection. I used a push stick to push it
through and a magnet to hold the parts in
place.
Step 8
• I utilized the table saw to
continuously modify the quantity that
gets cut after seeing that my base
wasn't cut perfectly, making sure the
base matched my box.
Step 9
• I cut the piece I needed for my lid on
a table saw. I trimmed the lid to the
measurement I had and removed the
rounded edges. In order to keep my
hand away from the blade, I used the
push stick. I pulled up my sleeves and
used eye and ear protection.
Step 10

• I used the mitresaw to cut my lid.I used

hearing and eye protection. Using the stop
block, I calculated the size.To achieve an
exact cut, align the ruler with the blade
and stop block. After it had clamped the
stop block, I placed my item up against it,
being careful not to strike it too hard so as
to skew my measurement.
Step 11

• I used the tablesaw to cut the

border pieces for my lid.I put on
hearing and eye protection. I pushed
it through with a push stick after using
a magnet to keep the parts in place.
Step 12

• In order for the lid and border to

glue together effectively, I made sure
that there was a squeeze out. I then
secured the parts in place using
clamps. To prevent glue from getting
on the clamps, I placed paper towels
underneath the board.
Step 13
• I smoothed the lid and removed any
flaws with the 60 grit palm sander. I
wore eye and hearing protection. To
prevent the sander from working, I took
care not to round the corners and not to
apply too much pressure.
Step 14
• I used my fingers to apply adhesive to
the wood pieces' edges. In order to
prevent the glue from leaking onto the
front or back of the box, I carefully
taped the edges of the components.
After that, I assembled the parts using
my foundation and fastened the box
around the edges and centre.The Box
Was Glued Together
Step 15

• To smooth out my box and remove any

glue residue from the glueing procedure, I
utilized a belt disc sander. I had eye and
hearing protection on. In addition to
moving the box around to prevent
burning, I took careful to watch over what
I was sanding.
Step 16

This was my completed box,

unaltered by laser work.
Step 17

• In order to better grasp the laser and how to

utilize it, I first viewed all of the operating
instructions videos. After that, I located a photo I
wanted to utilize and added it to the USBVI photo
book. I altered the photo to make it fit the laser
after transferring it to the laptop. Because that
was the height that fit on my lid, I made it eight
inches.
Step 18

• After tracing the image and ensuring that it

fits well on my lid, I moved it into the laser
machine. then marked the middle of my lid by
using a ruler and going corner to corner and
made a Xin the middle on a piece of tape so I
know where the centre of my pieceisand I can
direct the laser to start there.After there.
Afterssed the frame button, which displayed the
location of the photo on the box.
• This is the box's final result after the laser and
all other finishing touches were applied.
