The building block trolley has been selected for manufacture. The drawing below shows all the major parts, as an exploded drawing.
STAGE ONE: All the parts are accurately measured and marked out.
   
 
   
A woodworkers try square and marking knife are used to mark the lengths.
   
STAGE TWO: The materials are cut to size using hand tools such as a tenon saw or a bandsaw, for larger sections.
   
   
STAGE THREE: The lengths of materials are trimmed to exactly the correct measurement.
   
 
   
STAGE FOUR: The holes for the dowel joints are drilled using a template. This ensures that the holes are drilled in exactly the right place.

The holes for the wheel bolts are drilled in the same way.

This techniques means that if a number of building block trucks are being manufactured, all the holes are accurately positioned. This allows for batch production.
STAGE FIVE: The storage box / base. The finger/comb joints are marked out and cut to size. The corners of the storage box are now ready.
   
STAGE SIX: A rebate is created along the length of each side of the storage box. This can be produced by using a rebate plane

Sash clamps for holding the parts together while the glue sets.

Screw drivers to tighten any screws / bolts that have been use.
STAGE EIGHT: Appropriate finishes are applied. These include varnish and paint.
