How to Build a Lemonade Stand

Using a straightedge and combination square, mark slots 3 inches in from the edges on the front, sides, and crosspiece—down from the top on the sides, up from the bottom on the front and crosspiece (see overview). Make the long slots (on the sides and front) 14¼ inches deep and the short slots (on the crosspiece and sides) 2¼ inches deep.

Using a drill/driver, make ⅜-inch holes inside the corners of the slots. Cut the slots with a jigsaw, using the holes to turn the blade.
