Step 1
Using the measurements above, cut your pieces to size with the crosscut
box. As always, label each piece with chalk to avoid any confusion.


Step 2
Next, we need to find the center point of the top, bottom, and base
pieces. You can easily find this by drawing the diagonals. Using a
straight edge line up the corners and mark it with your pencil. Do the
same for the opposite corner. For the top and bottom pieces, draw the
line all the way from corner to corner. For the base piece you only have
to mark a small line near the center in each direction. Both ways form an
X in the center. Where the two lines cross, that’s your center point.
