Not bad , but it looks like you got some air leaks there. And you will probably get ***** by the cronies here for your choice in wood. But it's a start //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Are you talking about the difference in what I got and the other "mdf" for countertops? Well it was in-between the wood I got and the countertop wood, and I got the 'flakey' wood cause it was cheaper lol. Plus I was told this wood is easier to screw together without cracking.

Yeah lol Id figured, plus I should add that the air leaks are mostly fixed.

The top piece in those pictures isnt screwed on, and I sanded down the pieces that were holding it up on the sides, so its flush now.

^Lol yeah, that kinda stuff has happened to me with everybox Ive built, granted this was the 3rd box I built, lol.

Its prolly cause I cant cut on a straight line haha.

UNLESS YOPU USING A HAND SAW LOL 'WHICH IF YoU ARE THAT BOX SINT BAD' CUTTING A STRAIT LINE IS EASY

WIHT A HAND CIR SAW JSUT USE A STRAIT PEICE OF WHITE WOOD AND CLAMP IT SO THE SAW CAN RIDE THE WHITE WOOD FOR A STRAIT CUT

sorry for caps sh*t

You would probably get a better response from denser wood.

MDF > Particle board //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Other than that, looks all fine and dandy.

coat the inside of the box with fiberglass resin, this will seal it up good and should be just as good as mdf then.
