Other things you will most likely need include a tape measure, pencils, chalk line, angle iron, level, wood glue, and hardware like screws, nails, maybe hinges and such. A chalk line is a wonderfully simple way to make a straight line across large surfaces, like plywood. The case is full of chalk. You pull out a string coated in chalk. Hook one end at the marked place on one side, hold the base at the other side, and do a quick pull and release in the middle of the tightly stretched string. The chalk comes off to make a neat line from one mark to the next. An angle iron helps you make straight lines over a short distance.
