DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

A miter box is an important tool to help cut perfect 90- and 45-degree cuts.
Step 8: Cut the guide slots.
 Using a hand saw, start a cut following the center guide slide pencil markings. Pull the saw back along the line on both sides of the box. Cut slowly and make sure to follow the lines on both sides of the box. Continue the 90-degree cut until the saw just touches the bottom of the miter box, then stop. Repeat this entire step to cut the guide slots for both of the 45-degree angle locations.
Carefully cut along the lines on both sides of the miter box.
