All pieces are 10mm thick.

Marking out Process
All steps that follow must be completed on BOTH pieces.
Tools needed:

Steel Ruler H Pencil Name: ___________

Name:___________ 250mm

What to do:
Step 1- 70mm x2

Mark face side and face edge onto your

piece of timber. Only measure and use set
square off these faces.
Step 2-
Mark 20mm in from both ends and draw a line down
using the set square.

From the line marked in 20mm, mark 10mm in and

draw a line down using the set square.

Step 3-

Drop these lines down the side of the piece using the
set square on both sides. These lines must be more
than half the thickness of the piece.
 Step 4-

Set 5mm on the marking gauge. Put the stock against

the face side and mark the depth of the housing joint.
Do this on both sides.

Cutting out the housing joints

Tools Needed-

Name:___________ 10mm Chisel Wooden Mallet

Step 1-

Using the tenon saw, cut the waste side of the line
down to the mark made with the marking gauge.

How to use a Tenon Saw

1. Hold the saw like a gun
2. Standing Position- stand with your string foot pointing in
the direction you are cutting and the other foot
perpendicular to that. Keep a firm stance.
3. The saw cuts on the push stroke so do long cuts to use all
the teeth.
4. When lining up the saw to make a cut, use your thumb on
the other hand. When position is established move your
thumb away.
5. Always cut waste side of the line.
 The first cut you make with the Tenon saw is a
diagonal cut down to the bottom of the house
joint.

The second cut you make is that the same as the first
but from the opposite side.

The last cut you make is a straight cut down to the

bottom of the housing joint. The joint is now ready to
be chiselled out.
Step 2-

Using the 10mm chisel, begin to chisel to the centre of

the piece but only go half way to avoid breakout.

Before chiselling this out the teacher will cut out the
trench for the base piece to sit into.
Step 3-

From here, using the 10mm chisel again, cut out the
rest of the housing joint from the opposite side.

Result-

Step 4-
Mark in 10mm and down 10mm using a ruler and set
square (face-side and face-edge).

Using a compass draw the 10mm arc on both corners

using the centre points you have just drawn.
Step 5-
Tool needed:

Name:_____________

Using a coping saw, cut just away from the line and
then sand it to the line. This will give you the curved
corners and the piece is now completed.

Remember ALL these steps must be

completed on BOTH pieces.
End piece of the box
MUST BE DONE ON BOTH
PIECES 130mm

70mm

x2

Mark face side and face edge on the pieces and the
teacher will cut out the groove for the base on both
pieces. This is all that needs to be done with these
pieces.

Base of the box

194mm 140mm

x1

This a piece that is cut out for you and sits into the
groove that the teacher cut out when gluing.

The box is now ready to be glued. Glued is put in

the housing joints and trench for the base. Place
in vice to glue.

Making the lid

Wood needed:
250mm 140mm

x1

190mm 120mm

x1

Both of these pieces will be glued together to make the

lid.
Bottom of the lid
Step 1-
190mm 120mm

x1

Mark the centre of the piece using a set square and ruler.

Mark up 50mm from the bottom and 50mm down from

the top of the piece using a set square and ruler.
Step 2-

On these centre points, using the pillar drill, drill through

the piece with a 6mm bit. Make sure the piece is clamped
and there is timber under the piece to avoid breakout.

The Pillar Drill

Top of the lid
Step 1-

250mm 140mm

x1

Mark the centre of the piece using a set square and ruler.

Mark up 80mm from the bottom and 80mm down from

the top of the piece using a set square and ruler.
Step 2-

Using the pillar drill again, drill into the piece but only go
5mm into the piece on the centre points.

Step 3-

On the same piece mark in 10mm and down 10mm on all

4 corners. Again draw the curve in with the compass and
cut with the coping saw as done before.
 The top of the lid is now finished and ready to be glued
to the bottom of the lid.

Gluing the lid

Step 1-

Glue the 6x10mm dowels into the top of the lid.

Step 2-

Glue the bottom of the lid to the top of the lid. The
dowels are used to keep the pieces centred.

Clamp the piece and sand off the dowels if they are
sticking out. The lid is now complete.
The box is now complete and can be oiled up. A
Bunsen burner can be used to burn a design of
your fancy on to the lid.
