Construction

Make the legs 34 inches long. Take the box apart and reduce the depth to 7 inches outside depth without the cover. Put the box together again and turn it on its side. Nail on the legs, allowing them to project 12 inches below the bottom face of the box, and 17 inches above the open top edge. Place it upon its legs and nail on the facing strips along the bottom of the sides and ends, having the bottom edge of the strips even with the bottom face of the box. Nail the 51-inch-long strip to the inside face of the legs, extending it from leg to leg at opposite ends, having its upper edge even with the top of the legs. Put the other one on the opposite side, and put the 25 1/2-inch-long strips across the ends. Miter the ends of the other top frame strips to an angle of 45 degrees and place them on their flat sides on the other top frame strips, having their inner edges even with the inner face of the lower top frame strip, and nail them together. Place the slats on the outside face of the box, with their lower ends resting on the facing strips, having their upper ends on the outside face of the top frame to which they are to be nailed. Place and nail all the slats, spacing them equally 2 inches apart.
