[QUOTE="ItalynStylion, post: 5882916, member: 568239"] When you stated that you might take it apart and change it...what did you mean by that? Change it how? As many have said, glue it for sure. The nails/screws are just to hold the boards in place long enough to let the glue dry. You never will fully understand how amazingly strong wood glue bonds two pieces of wood until you have glued two pieces together, let them dry, and then realized you screwed up and need to get them apart. It's like solid iron! You will literally, I shit you not, break the two pieces of wood before the glue will fail. That's how strong it is. Now imagine that on every edge of your box. Not at 4" increments like your screws, but every single square inch of contact area between two boards. THAT....is why you NEED glue [/QUOTE]
