It was a PITA, they both were. I'm glad it's over. I just have to finish putting the other one together.

Oh wow, you made two?

I won't do truck boxes anymore without charging something...they really are a PITA.

truck boxes aren't really that difficult. The angles are a PITA, though

what are you cutting with?

Circular saw.

They should look better than that if you want to start charging, though.

Planning helps. you should use sketchup first, if you dont' already.

Circular saw.

If you can rotate the base to make some angle cuts, it'll help a lot with truck boxes

Yeah, actually I kinda agree..

Doing them for free is a great way to get yourself up to par with mobeious and such //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

you got a table saw? if not I would strongly suggest getting one if you gonna do a lot of boxes. Nice looking box btw. some peoples first boxes look alot worse then that. I know mine did.

Yeah I have a tablesaw, but a bearing in the motor went out 10 minutes after I bought it.

Some as low as $50 for a ryobi one. Then make a plwood top and fence extension for cutting up to 47" pieces Makes boxes alot easier when the pieces are the same size. also makes great angle cuts.
