In this video, I’ll show you how to cut the mitres for the box carcass. This step involves the creation of a mitre jig which can be created both by hand and by machine. But the accuracy in which you make this will dictate the outcome of your joints. So be sure to take care with it.
Most importantly, do not dry assemble the box with the lid and base fitted at the same time. You will not be able to get it apart. Instead, test them one at a time!
