  • Question
    When measuring, don't you need to include the thickness of the wood?
    Community Answer
    Yes. For example, when using plywood, mark out the width of the wood before you attach the other side, and mark where you should put your nails, and how many depending on size.

    Can I use a hand saw?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but it will take more work with the hand saw. Also, precision cut will be very difficult.

  • Question
    What's the best measurements to use for making a wooden box?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how big you want it. The measurements I used were 9" x 8". this was a good size for a trinket box, or a box to give a gift in, easily movable and looks nice.

  • Question
    What kind of wood should I use? Should I use softwood or hardwood?
    Community Answer
    Hard plywood will last much longer and hold its shape and remain stable better than softwood. Hardwood looks cleaner than softwood but it just depends on the purpose of the box.
