box looks good for sure and nice job on the carpeting. Thinking the carpeting is the hardest part of the entire build, specially since its what everyone sees in the end.
How do you handle the corner seems? Do you fold over the two pieces and sort tack them down and then cut them at the same time with a razor? Also hard to tell but looks like the outside rolls all the way around till it buts into the sides. So razor the short 45° and then whatever other angle it needs to be to drop down to the side? Sorry for being vague just trying to figure it out and hopefully better myself. Also not sure what you use, but I found the plastic bondo spreaders work great for puling and stretching out the carpet as well as pushing it into the seams.
As for the carpeting:
-I first set the enclosure down with half of theback/bottom of the enclosure touching the carpet, the other half just on the floor. (the box will be rolled on the sides that do NOT have the inset on them)
-Then spray the next side of the enclosure (dont glue down the side that is only half-covered yet, that's the last side to do) and the carpet it will touch with spray adhesive...then roll it onto that side, making sure there aren't wrinkles or anything, and press it firmly down (repeat untill the other 2 sides of the box have been carpeted/rolled)
-Once you have 3 of the 4 rolling-sides done, you come to where the side that the box was originally sitting on that was half on the carpet, half on the floor. You'll need a very sharp knife/exacto/razor. lightly spray some adhesive down on the box where one of the flaps would touch and press down the carpet to it.
-Then take the other flap and press it down to where it'd fall (no adhesive layed down for it..you dont want it to stick yet) and where the two pieces overlap you'll want to press very firmly with your cutting tool and slice from one end of the overlap to the other.
(Make sure while all of this is going on you leave enough of the carpet to overlap the outer-most edges of the insets on the sides..like this
-And once youve made that cut, material will still be connected to the side-overlaps...simply cut the material, leaving enough for the outsides to still overlap.
-Then pull up the top-overlapping piece and pull up the piece on the bottom over-lapping piece that was cut. Also remove the top-overlapping piece's piece you cut.
-Then spray some adhesive down where that top-overlapping piece would go and press it down while youre carefully press the seam flush
-This should give you those 4 sides..
And I have to go to work...so I might continue this there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif..ba bye
