Well after the routing table debacle, i decided i needed to go back to the beginning and try something alittle easier.
I found this plan in the back of the ” The Complete book of Woodworking”. I looked pretty straight forward and it would use up the left over treated lumber I had. The original plan was 4×4, but i decided that due to my kids and the neighbors kids it should be bigger. I made this sandbox 6×4…(what I failed to do was the math on the number of bags of sand I was going to need.) For the record 20 bags. I also used a piece of 3/4 OSB to make a lid to discourage any wildlife from using it as a litter box.
I took a day to cut, assemble, and prime. Another day to paint. It was a fun project to do and I learned a lot. The best part was having my daughter help me paint it…

Really cool idea. Looks can be deceiving. At first glance that sand box looks enormous. It wasn’t until I saw the kids and coffee cup that I could tell how big it really was.
Again, cool project. Now if we could only figure out how to keep the sand in the box and not in the house.

This is great. Kids can play in a sandbox forever, and very nice that it has good places at 4 corners, they can be tables, chairs and maybe some other thing. Good job!
