In July 2025, several of us are taking part in the 30-Day “Tool” Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, the challenge encourages participants to share a tool that can help people with productivity, organization, and communication. Tools are essential in many occupations and hobbies. Today my choice is going to be a tool used by finish carpenters and DIY called a MITRE BOX.
My dad had a number of hand tools and one he constructed himself out of wood was a Mitre Box. Today when you purchase one, they are almost always made out of plastic. They are an important tool when using a hand saw and you are attempting to get a precise angle cut. The one my dad has looked like what is shown below.
Tool-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing something about a tool in July.
- Record something about a particular tool. It can be physical or digital. It may also be something that has been replaced with advanced technology.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
July 27-Mitre Box
A mitre box is a handy tool for making precise angled cuts, typically at 45 or 90 degrees, in wood or molding. It’s especially useful for simple home projects like framing, trim work, or building shelves. Used with a backsaw, the mitre box helps DIYers achieve clean, accurate cuts without the need for power tools.
Here is a video on how to use it.
