Carpeting Tutorial

[pitbull12888]

i dont have a table saw either lol, all i pretty much have is a circular saw and a drill. besides the misc. tools u need. I think i might do that vinyl idea that leo posted on my next box (not to keep, just to play with) then ill sell it or somethin later. So ill wrap the vinyl over and staple it on the front and the side pieces, and do everything else as pictured in the link above.

Since I don't have a router table, how do you make the cut with the straight bit straight, do you have some sort of bearing or jig to guide the router along?

You can clamp just a srap piece of wood across the panel to give you a straight cut.

Are your sides inset or are they flush?

well i am not too sure what u mean by insert or flush - but they way the box was built i would not be able to router them....

What I man is, do the sides sit a little bit insed the edges of the front, back, top, and bottom (inset)? Or does the sides actually sit flush all the way around?

Well, Ive never really carpeted a box with flush sides. But one way you could do it, is to do the front, top, back and bottom with one piece. The cut two seperate pieces to do the sides. Dont know if thats the best way to do it or not, just an idea.
