Estimating Materials for Shadow Box Frame

Hi, this is Jon on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip we will be estimating materials. If I take a look at the picture that I've drawn of my frame I see that I need two long sides that are going to be 3 inches by 11 1/2 inches. My short sides are going to need a 3 inch deep by 9 1/2 inch and I'm going to need 2 of each of these. For my back piece I'm going to need a 9 1/2 by 11 1/2 inch piece and I only need one of those. In addition, there's going to be a sheet of glass in the front. So I'll need to estimate that I'll probably need about an 11 1/2 by 9 1/2 sheet of glass. Now my actual size is going to be a little bit smaller, but we'll get into that a little bit later.
