Enclosure Build for Beatkeeper1

[wasted ink 10+ year member]

your building this box with glue only!?man i don't know better be some strong ass glue cause i don't know i would at least put a few 1.5 or more braids in it just for insurance, i have built a box with just braids no glue an it held great but nothing bigger than a 10 though. anything bigger i would have to bring in some screws.

but enough of my bickering lol its looking to be a good looking box an i like the grooves on the side for the carpet i am assuming, can't wait to see it finished an oh btw i build in cold year around i think that is when i do most of my building is in december an january lol but keep on building man.

As explained below, screws and brads do nothing but hold the plates together while they dry. Hence the reason the clamps stay on overnight. Glue without screws is fine, screws without glue is fail. Believe me, the MDF is going to break/tear/split before the glue bond does. This has been explained many times, and on the previous page as well. It's a little frustrating to read comments like that not only when they have been explained already, but where this build is for a customer. If he didn't know better, this may cause him to question the quality of my work and/or the integrity of his box. I can assure, as many others will, the construction of this and my other boxes is plenty strong.

That being said, thank you very much for the compliments and I give you credit for working in the cold.. I'm assuming you don't have a heated workspace either?

Thats why he has all those clamps on the box. Theyre doing the same thing as the screws do until its dried.

Thanks for clearing that up.

You tuck the carpet into the grooves on the ends for a seemless look //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Looking good, ink

The ends of the 45 will be taken care of, I have to leave the ends out in order to clamp it.
