[QUOTE="joeldirt, post: 1674497, member: 558163"] I think I do kind of close to what you do to carpet your boxes. I make the rectangular box without the face and back first. Then I take the carpet, and carpet it so that the seam is at the bottom, folding the ends of the carpet inside the box and afizing it into a 1/16th deep rabet on the inner edge. you don't see a single seal accept for the bottom. Then I take the face, and back that fit inside the box flush and tight to the router table. I run a 1/4" rabet for the carpet to be stapled on the inside. Wrap the pices, staple them, then bring them to the box. Internally I put a lip made of two layers of 2x3/4" strips. I place the lips so that they are completley sealed at the joints . This lip provides the shelf that the face and back will sit into. I glue the shit out of it and place the face and back in place. ....... I have a thread where I posted this. I'll try to find it..... here it is..... [URL="http:////forum/showthread.php?t=115429&page=2"]http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115429&page=2[/URL] we have a similar styles in aplying carpet kind of. I like your style, but am kind of partial to my own. Probably only because it is what I have done for a long time. YOu could also do the siedes instead of the face and back.. which ever floats the boat, or best looks iyo. [/QUOTE]
