Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Step 1
Begin this project by cutting the wooden components that will form the bottom box of the tabletop greenhouse to their specified lengths. Measure and mark lumber to the dimensions below. Mount the US500 Wood Cutting Wheel accessory onto your Dremel Ultra-Saw™ tool. Clamp the lumber and cut along your marks. Bottom Box Components Bottom Box Base: 24" x 48" X 1/2" Plywood Plank Bottom Box Sides: (2) 1" x 4" x 48" Cedar Planks Bottom Box Ends: (2) 1" x 4" x 19.5" Cedar Planks
Step 1
Assemble the bottom box of the greenhouse using the wood cut in Step 1. Note that throughout this project we often glued and pre-drilled holes in our tabletop greenhouse components to make securing them with screws easier. Mount the 150 Drill Bit accessory in your Dremel 3000 rotary tool. Set the tool speed to 10 and drill two aligned points on each end of the 1" x 4" x 48" side planks. Using a drill, screw 1 1/2" screws through each of these holes and into the edges of the 1" x 4" x 19.5" end planks to create the frame for the bottom box. Rest the 24" x 48" X 1/2" base on-top of the frame and adhere wood glue. Allow time for the glue to dry. Drill several holes along the edge of the base into the frame using the 3000 rotary tool and 150 accessory at speed 10. Secure these components together by drilling 1 1/2" screws through the holes that were just created. The bottom box is now complete.
