Making Boxes Continued
There we go, the cross braces are installed.

|
 |
All the legs move nice and easy now.

 |
Here you can see the angle on the legs.

And here you can see the small amount of clearance that will be needed once I
coat thing with paint.

I bought a six inch hole saw to cut the hole with. I could have used a
jigsaw or my router but that isn't as precise as something like this.
|
|
 |
|
I marked my location for the large hole but it's hard to
find the center because this hole saw is so large. However, by drilling
the 1/4" hole first makes this a much easier task because the pilot
drill on hole saws are the same size This is a quick and accurate way of making sure
the hole is in the right spot.
|
|
 |
One more trick I did was to only go halfway through with the hole saw.
Then I turned the boards over and drilled the rest of the way through.
This prevents 'tear-out' when the saw exits the other side.
|
|
 |
This worked out great and didn't take long either.
|
|
 |
At this point it was time to sand all the surfaces. For the top and
sides I used my DA sander but used my sanding block for the all the
edges. And a little hand sanding around the hole.
