Uploading the pics of the box progress so far. Was a toughy, still have to round edges as some of the cuts weren't as accurate as they could be. Really an ugly looking box for the most part.

no offense, but that box build was way to difficult for you. Those angles are sub par, they dont line up, edges are not flush etc. I know i couldnt do it either, thats one of the hardest looking plans ive ever seen. There has to be something easier.

Did the best with what we had. It really doesn't look THAT bad, we haven't done any sanding or anything. We can still make it look alot better. U just wait.

im not rippin on u at all dude. i couldnt do it any better i dont have a wood working shop at my disposal as im sure you dont either. That plan is imposible and would take a pro to make. it actually looks good overall, but a few places arent flush and such. nice job!

The spots that aren't completely flush we will sand down quite a bit to at least help the apperance. Tomorrow morning we're going to slap that other side down and cut out the terminal and sub hole and you guys will get a good final idea of what she's gonna look like. I'm not really dissapointed in what we did so far. I think it still can be improved from what it is. Lack of tools, time and patience kept this box from being as good as it could be.

Table saw, if you have a question on it visit this thread. I asked the same question myself.

do you think a circular saw will work

Any angle you can do with a table saw you can do with a handheld, it's just harder to be as exact.

This box;

All done with a circular saw on a set of horses.
