"Okay, let's start by marking off our wood board here. We need 2, two and a half inch sections, so I'm measuring two and a half inch, I'm going to draw a line and again two and a half inches. So I have one, two; two and a half inch sections, and then one 6-inch section, so we're measuring from that last two and a half inch mark to the six inch mark and now we'll go to our miter box. So this sits at the edge of the table, that holds it in place, and then you can place your board right on the center line here, lining up your line and then they have this little clamp like item that you stick in and twist to hold the board in place. And place your saw in that center slot, that's a nice guide and we'll just saw that piece off. Okay, and then you want to make cuts for the other pieces."
