Step 1: Select the 'Grids and Snaps' tool.
Select the 'FIXED' radial button.
Adjust the Major Grid Spacing to 100mm and the Subdivisions to 10.
Step 2: Press the R key on your keyboard to enter the RECTANGLE command.
Select the plane that you would like to start sketching on. In this instance we will use the XY plane (the floor).
Step 3: Draw a 2-point rectangle.
Ideally you should place the first corner on the grid as shown. At this stage dimensions are not important.
Step 3: Press the D key on your keyboard to enter the DIMENSION command.
Click on the shorter side of the rectangle and enter a dimension of 150mm.
Repeat this process with the longer line and enter a dimension of 200mm.
Step 5: Press the O key on your keyboard to enter the OFFSET command.
Click on the rectangle and enter a dimension of 12mm to create an external contour line.
Step 6: Press the L key on your keyboard to enter the LINE command.
On the left side of the rectangle, draw a 90 degree line after 4 grid spaces (press escape to exit the line tool).
Press the L key to draw a new line. Draw a 90 degree line after 7 grid spaces (press escape to exit the line tool).
Press the L key to draw a new line. Draw a 90 degree line after 10 grid spaces (press escape to exit the line tool).
Press the L key to draw a new line. Draw a 90 degree line after 13 grid spaces (press escape to exit the line tool).
Step 7: Press the T key on your keyboard to enter the TRIM command.
Trim the lines shown to create finger joints.
Repeat the steps 6 and 7 to create finger joints on both the left and right sides of the rectangle.
Step 8: Press the E key on your keyboard to enter the EXTRUDE command.
Select the toolbox base you have created and pull this outwards.
Size should be 12 mm exactly.
Step 9: Press the A key on your keyboard to enter the APPEARANCE command.
Select the bamboo material from the list and drag this directly onto the model.
Step 10: Take a moment to save this file with two different file names....
Save a version as "Toolbox Base"
Save a second version as "Toolbox Front".
We will reuse this front panel later.
Step 11: Press the E key on your keyboard to enter the EXTRUDE command.
Select the front side of the toolbox base you have created and select a dimension of -12mm.
This will make room for the toolbox front panel.
Repeat this extrude process on the other side.
