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
Start by cutting all of the pieces you'll need to complete your chest, following the provided cut list. Measure and mark your lengths of 1x4 Material & Plywood. All of these cuts can be made using your Dremel Saw-Max tool equipped with the SM500 Wood & Plastic Wheel. Secure your material to your work bench, turn on your tool and cut along your marked lines. You'll notice how easy it is to make these one-handed cuts, easily following your marked lines through the notch at the front-end of the tool. Repeat this step for all of the materials on your cut list keeping them organized in separate piles. You can cut your sisal rope to size using a utility knife or scissors or you can have your local home improvement store cut it to size when you purchase the material.
Step 2
Next, assemble the base of your chest by securing your 13.5" long 1x2 cleat on each 13.5" end of the plywood panel. We attached the cleats first with wood glue and then with 3 finishing nails for an extra-secure fit.
