63. A storage box that includes;
-
four identical side walls of a quadrilateral shape each side wall including;
two parallel and opposed fastening edges, a first of said fastening edges having one part of a two part mortise and tenon joint and a second of said fastening edges having the other part of said two part mortise and tenon joint engaged whereby the fastening edges of each said side wall are releasably engaged together by virtue of said mortise and tenon joint, and two parallel and opposed free edges a base panel that is engaged to each of said four side walls at one of said two parallel and opposed free edges to define a cavity with one major opening bounded in part by each of the other of said two parallel and opposed free edges.
