thats a really cool design what program do you use to design boxes, good job on the box itself so far too cant wait to see the finished product

Good design. Just seems like a hassle to build.

It's google sketchup. It's a free program which is great, most engineering/cad software is hundreds of dollars. Google sketchup is a bit interesting in how it works, but if you follow the tutorials, it's really easy to learn how. There are even a few tutorials here on the forums on how to use it to design sub boxes. It's what I use, check out my signature.

I use sketchup to get the 3d image. i have autodesk inventor but eats up to much cpu.

Hey, what did you use to cut that little trapezoid to fit over the drive shaft hump. I figured it looked to straight to be a jigsaw or bandsaw and a regular circular saw would overlap cuts.

a router with a spiral upcut bit and just a home made fence.
