I've been working really hard at being more organized around here so I can appreciate the need for wall pockets like this.<br /><br />Please don't let rude comments get to you.

You have also inspired me to trim my soffits above my cabinets and below my bar in my kitchen. All turned out GREAT! Thank you for your ideas and inspirations- keep them coming.

This is in fac...Hi Valerie, Thanks for stopping by! This is in fact and easy project where the only tools you'll need to complete it are a hand saw and a hammer. However, working with hand tools is labor intensive and that's why is good to have some power tools to make the process easier and faster.<br />No miter saw? Just grab a ruler and a pencil and mark the line from the 2¾" mark to the starting point on opposite side of the 1 x 8. Use your hand saw to cut all along that line.<br />No need for clamps, those are small boxes that you can align to the very edge of the backer board while driving the nails to secure them.Cristina Garayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229690505771934030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-20172649177828459012017-08-21T10:47:36.904-04:002017-08-21T10:47:36.904-04:00Cute project and wow! only $25 to make! That is, ...Cute project and wow! only $25 to make! That is, if you have well over $1000 in tools, training to use them, fairly extensive knowledge of woodworking and terminology and a shop or garage to work in. If I had all that I could probably figure out a simple project like this by myself. I wish you would put that information at the start instead of posting something that looks cool and useful, letting me go through the instructions trying to figure out what things like "mitering the end at opposing 18-degree angle" and how I'm going to hold those little triangle side pieces in place with glue all over the edges while I turn it over and nail from the back (which you never do explain). Could you at least note the experience level required for your projects and state right up front that they require a shop full of expensive tools?Upstate NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643821352625982416noreply@blogger.com
