Step by step:
- Sand the wood until it is smooth and has no splints.
- Take the 22 mm x 164 mm x 144 mm wood piece and drill four holes in each corner. Take the glue and put a line on the edge, on the 164 mm side of the wood piece. Take the 22 mm x 120 mm x 144 mm and place the 22 mm side on the glue area. Drill two screws in the two holes where you placed the wood together. Repeat until you have a square box.
- Drill four holes, but on top and in the middle of each side of the wood box. Take the 22 mm x 120 mm x 120 mm wood piece, put glue on all of the 22 mm sides. Drill a screw in each hole to fasten the 22 mm x 120 mm x 120 mm to the wood box.
- Fill the holes with the wood filler and let dry. Sand the wood filler places until smooth.
- Paint, stain or varnish the way you desire.
- Get the middle point of the box and drill a hole with the 30 mm spade drill bit.
- Place toilet paper underneath the wooden box and pull a piece through the hole you made. Now your tissue box is ready for your desk.
