While it is theoretically possible to construct these chuckboxes entirely with hand tools, the following tools were used in the construction of these chuckboxes:
Chop saw - a hand saw, table saw or radial arm saw can be used instead
Table saw - used to cut larger sheets of plywood, a portable circular saw or jigsaw can be used with a bit more care and effort
Jigsaw - used for the box clearance cutout, a hand saw can be used
Metal cutoff saw - used to cut steel conduit, a hacksaw, Sawzall or tubing cutter can be used with somewhat more effort
Drill press - a portable electric drill can be used instead
Safety equipment - gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection are all important
