With out many details, I have recurring commision to build MANY different size boxes. These are as basic as can be. Butt joints on the corners glued and brad nailed. The 1/4" ply bottom is glued and air stapled on. The sides are 1/2" ply. The pics below show 60 boxes of 3 different sizes. The big issues here are how fast, safe, and accurate can I knock these out.

Looks like you have your hands full. What are they to be used for?

The answer as to what they are used for I can't tell you yet. I am under contact with the customer not to talk about the boxes uses until he tells me it's okay to. And with money on the line, I will be keeping my mouth shut .

Silence is golden, but I'm betting it's good news. At least for Tom

Wow, that's a lot of boxes. Good thing the customer didn't ask for hand cut half blind dovetails

What a case of one upsmanship!

Although you do have me really wondering about the uses.

No one ups here. This is mass production, not high quality.

Jim, On assembly I am at about 10 boxes an hour.

YES it does!! I use a Stanley Bostich 18 ga brad 1-1/4" long for the corners and a old Campbell Hausfeld 22ga wire stapler 3/8" long x 3/8" wide for the bottoms. It is as Norm says "a few brads until the glue dries" .

Lots and lots of ripping and crosscutting there, Tom!


You certainly have my attention and curiosity up!! (Parts bins for somethin'?)

So, Is sixty the final number to be done?
