The second great grand daughter, Mylah, is about to have her first birthday and needed a toy box for all her stuff so I got it done in time for April 30th. It is made of pine 1×8's that were biscuit joined. All the pine continued to move even after flattening on the big jointer at school so it had to be held in line when doing the lock miters on all the corners. The feather board did a good job of it! The bottom is 5/8” plywood from the dumpster that I got last week and it has 4 casters on the bottom. On this one I bought a soft close mechanism for the lid and it works super. Using lock miters is about the best way for one person to assemble this big of a box. It fit right together and was square right awayThe letters were cut in with the duplicator before the boards were biscuit joined.It is 36' wide, 18” deep and 19” high and finished with white semi gloss enamel and then sprayed with clear semi gloss enamel for a more durable finish and a more uniform gloss.Cheers, Jim
