Just finished my shoe shine box as a birthday present to myself. I made a few adjustments to your procedure.
1. I raised the measurement one end pieces to becoming 6 1/4″.
2. The top piece would then be on a upward slant instead of leveled.
In all it’s a great project idea. My father and brother actually schooled me on how to use a power saw. They taught me the tricks of the trade with their constructing expertise. Finishing the shoe shine box has inspired to build other items such as: a step stool, and a tv stand! Thanks for the post Brett!

This thing is awesome! I’ve been getting lazy about my shoe-shining because my method is very tedious. Time to take a new approach. I’m making this contraption ASAP.

So I’m looking around at ones that are available to purchase, and even peeked at some other plans, and this one is easily the best, since it’s the only one I can find that has those dowels for shining. I am going to have to build this,

And what about buffing your shoes before putting them on ??

Darren: If being manly measuring system means that it has to be hardly used in the world, above all not in countries that are famous for their engineering, a system that was invented way before most of the technical achievements we depend upon today and being resistant to any kind of progress, than the imperial system is for you, right.

C’mon, James…seriously?

English system: 1,000-4,000 years old, invented by kings.

Metric system: 300 years old, invented by a French vicar and amateur astronomer.

You can decide which is more manly for yourself. :-)

Saw Imperial measurements and left. (The Metric system is the manliest)

Edit:
‘learning country’ should be ‘learning outcome’. We (aspiring) geography teachers only think of countries and such, must be the reason of this error!
