FIGURE 10-1 Clamp the box sides while the glue dries.
2. Arrange the four wooden sides of the box as shown in Figure 10-1. Apply
wood glue to the mating surfaces, and clamp two at a time together until dry.
You should have two L-shaped pieces now.
3. Apply wood glue to open ends and clamp together these two L-shaped pieces
to complete a box. If your boards aren’t perfectly square, you might benefit
from additional clamps, as shown in Figure 10-2. Let the glue dry while the
pieces are clamped.
4. When the glue is dry, coat the bottom of this box with wood glue, and then
stick it to one of the wooden squares as the base. Let it dry.
