Assembling Our Boxes

This week while cutting wood, we realized that math was big part of woodworking. When we first cut the top and bottom, we did it at a regular size that we had prescribed on the order form. But when it came to the four sides, things got a bit tricky. This is because the wood is a half inch thick. So when cutting the front and back we had to decrease the height by one inch, to make up for the two half-inches. On the two sides we dec rebased the height and width by an inch each. This made up for the half-inches added on by the top, bottom, front, and sides.
