you probably wont be able to build a box or rail. my shop class couldnt because if anyone got hurt on it the shop teacher and school could get introuble or sued because it was built at the school.
if you have access to a lathe build a lamp. Build one back in freshman year and it was pretty sweet. all you need to do is go buy a kit for all the hardware
you know there is these two magical products called pvc pipe and HDPE that you put on top of that wood that turns the wood into a box. HOLY SHIT! but i still wonder how my resort boxes slide when their made of wood. the world may never know...
a sick box, a very sick box. i wish i had woodshop in highschool...i would build the most badass shit. you get free wood to build all kinds of backyard jib stuff...do it to it
my woods teacher wont let me build a rail/box/drop in cause they would be "too big".. so im building cornhole boards. their easy and ill get use out of em
make skis, or a kayak, or a lawn chair, or a catapult, or a box, but only if you have access to metal tools to, cause an all wooden box wouldn't be anywhere near as durable as a metal framed one.
