How to Build a Wooden Mailbox
Learn how to build a wooden mailbox to accommodate a lot of mail.

Start by cutting two strips of scrap wood/runners the same dimensions as the grooves in the top of the table saw and a piece of plywood that matches the top of the table saw. (These are for a wooden cradle to hold the redwood in position for a variety of cuts.)

Stick several pieces of double-sided carpet tape on one face of the runners and apply glue between the tape pieces. Set the runners into the grooves on the table saw, glue and tape side up and flush with the edges.

Take the panel of plywood and set it carefully on top of the runners, insuring that its front edge aligns flush with the edges, particularly the front edge of the table saw. The plywood sticks to the carpet tape on the runners in the exact position required.

Lift up the panel and runners as a unit, and turn it over. Be careful not to dislodge the runners. Nail the runners in place on the plywood with a pneumatic nail gun. The glue will help secure them, too.

Flip over the plywood so that the rails are down and engaged in the grooves on the table saw. The plywood should be flush with the edges of the table saw.
