Create Box Frame
Have four pieces of 1x3 MDF or pine trim and one piece of luan veneer cut to size at a local home improvement store. To create a cleat, also have one piece of 1x3 MDF or pine trim cut two inches shorter than width of box frame. At home, miter edges of four pieces of trim using miter saw, then glue mitered edges together to create a wooden frame. Strengthen the bond with screws, brads or staples. Place luan veneer on flat surface, attach frame with wood glue and screws, brads or staples. Fill screw or brad holes with wood filler using putty knife.
Create Cleat
Use miter saw to cut extra piece of 1x3 MDF or pine trim in half. Screw one half of cleat directly to bottom of top piece of box frame trim.
