The Mere Mortal Woodwork posted a video for making and advent calendar.
I really didn't have any other projects going so I made 2 of them, the grand-kids love them.
There is not much to it, some MDF and a little time.
I glued up 2, 3/4" poplar board to make the 1 1/2" little boxes which worked out very well. I added the start on top for a little added flash.
Make a template for the wrapping paper, it sure saves a lot of time, the template is like 7" x 3 1/4" if I remember right.
You can get the basic plans here.
