The World's Mightiest Puppet!
I'm considering making a box for a favorite board-game since the carton is falling apart after years of being taken to friends' houses. I did read through the thread, but my questions are still very basic.



1) What would be a light, but strong wood that I could use for this? Preferably something available at Home Depot that will take a stain well.

2) Is this feasible for someone with no access to joiners or jig-saws or any of that sort of thing? I have access to saws, hammers and the very basics from the garage and that's about it.

3) Would a removable lid or a hinged one be better?

The ideal result would be something like this, lining and all.

Thanks for the suggestions. I picked up a copy of that book, which seems tremendously informative.
