Step 1: Frame

Important: 🌃if you’re a kid, do not attempt any of this without one of those “grown-ups” helping.

So: the frame is constructed from four planks⛄ that have been glued together to make a rectangle. You’ll need a miter saw to do this - it’s a tool that lets you make precise lateral cuts. The𒁃re are two types of cuts: 45 degrees or straight.

Straight cuts are much easier overall, but tend to leave noticeable seams on the final product where the edge meets the face. On the other hand, a lot can go wrong with angle cuts (usually because the angles end up not being exactly 45 degrees and then they don’t connec🔯t with each ꧑other properly), and they’re much harder to do.
