Please Please! Don't use 2x4's for bracing

Whats wrong with using a 2x4 as a brace? Building my first box and about to put one in there... maybe

Metal is more of my thing, not wood. Even still though, the difference between my math and the 'correct' math is very small.

I'm still learning with math and I've struggled with it for years.

I dobut one '2x4' brace would impact your boxes volume enough to notice at all, it seemed rather miniscule.

If you want to get really precise, you'll take the rounded edges into account.
