1 | |
Starting with a 4′ x 8′ of 1/2″
Birch plywood, cut the long dimension into 15″ sections.
The cut has to leave at least 14-3/4′ as that dimension will be shaved later.
Each of the 6 pieces will be 48″ x 15″ and each of these should make one box. |
2 | | From one of these pieces, make the following cuts: |
| a | Long-ways, make a cut at 11-3/4″ to make a piece 11-3/4″ x ~15″ will be Box-Roof |
| b | Long-ways, make a cut at 11-3/4″ to make another piece 11-3/4″ x ~15″ will be Box-Bottom |
| c | Long-ways, make a cut at 5-1/4″ to make a piece 5-1/4″ x ~15″ will be Box-Left-Side |
| d | Long-ways, make a cut at 5-1/4″ to make another piece 5-1/4″ x ~15″ will be Box-Right-Side |
| e | Turn the remaining piece 90 degrees and make a 5-1/4″ cut to make a piece 5-1/4″ x 13-1/2″ will be Center-Support |
3 | | Make the following cuts to create the designated parts common to both types of boxes: |
| a | Cut the &15″ length from step a above to 14-3/4″ to make the Box-Roof |
| b | Cut the 15″ length from step b above to 14-3/4″ to make the Box-Bottom |
| c | Cut the 15″ length from step c above to 11-3/4″ to make a Box-Left-Side |
| d | Cut the 15″ length from step d above to 11-3/4″ to make a Box-Right-Side |
| e | Cut the 13-1/2″ length from step e above to 6-3/4″ to make the Center-Support of 6-3/4″ x 5-1/4″.
Also cut a 3/4″ piece from what is left over to create the Front-Right-Panel-Brace of 5-1/4″ x 3/4″
|
4 | | Cut the remaining parts to make the following: |
| a | 9″ x 8-1/2″ O-Scope-Pan |
| b | 5-1/4″ x 4″ Scope-Panel Not Anymore???? |
| c | 5-1/4″ x 3/4″ O-Scope-Panel-Brace |
