115. Simple DIY - make a strong box from cardboard

In this video, I will show you how I made a simple but very strong and lightweight box from cardboard and chipboard. This is a foundational video meaning that you can take what you learn and apply it to your own projects to build any size box you need. The materials and tools used are very inexpensive so anyone with an interest can do this.
The other purpose for this video is to continue to show you how versatile these materials are and how easy they are to work with. (Here's a link to another build video using cardboard and chipboard: • 110. Portable bookshel... ). The possibilities for projects using these materials are only limited by your own imagination and creativity.
