    Default Plans for simple boxes

    I have small children who would like to make some simple boxes with lids, are there any plans about for boxes that don't require power tools or special skills. Something for kids aged b/w 6 and 10 is what I'm after, hopefully some boxes will keep them busy for an afternoon.

    Well i was bored one lesson in Building and construction and found some scrap in the scrap box that had a groove previously cut into it, simply nailed it together and made a lid and base, took me about 30 minutes but i didnt really have to do much, you could do the same with your kids just cut pieces to the right size and put the groove in them (using a tablesaw would work) and then they get to nail to their hearts content.

    If you cant fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem...

    Tiger, you sound desperate, mate! We have all been there, believe me.

    In fifty years!, you'll look back and be proud you were such a good Dad.
