Help with Potato box construction

[Lord Ferguson]

Can anyone post a picture of a completed potato box please.  F happy B posted me some but I can't find them now (think I may have deleted them).  Diamentions as well if that's not asking too much.  Cheers - Mark

here you go!!!  ;D

First attempt a bit of a balls up really... Wood too thick/large.  I used 3mm ply (need 2mm ply) and 5mm square (need 3mm I think).. Once again if anyone can measure the thickness of the wood used I would appreciate it.  When (if) I maset it I will gladly make you all some (if you pay the postage of course !)

Now then chaps.. getting better but not quite there yet. 1.5mm ply is a sod to work with (well for me anyway) so I'm trying 2mm ply tomorrow night.  Unless anyone has any better suggestions that is.
