[QUOTE="thatkidbob, post: 2373434, member: 566497"] i agree... start over... get some 90 degree corner clamps, some 36 & 48 inch bar clamps and some practice with that jig saw. Take the lessons you learned from this box and apply 'em to the next one... and get a router too... you'd be surprised at the mistakes a router can make disappear, or never happen in the first place. As long as you've got a good design, a good cut sheet, straight cuts & 90 degree corners, building nice, pretty boxes is easy. ALSO... when painting, the end grain of the MDF needs to be sealed, be it with primer or wood glue mixed with water... if you don't it'll just soak up paint like you probably noticed... and oh yeah... you don't need that many screws bro [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] i use 2 joint... 3 on long ones.
