If you wrap it up in carpet or vinyl, it'll look just as good as a professional box.

it's not really a horrible looking box.. performance > cosmetics, IMHO.

I know, I used alot seeing as I had a bunch of gaps that had to be kinda sqeezed together so i used alot of screws so that the pressure was distributed evenly. lol, still kinda excessive though:laugh:

it'd probably be a good idea to mix up some wood glue + saw dust & line all your corners & shit with it.. just for an extra good seal.

unless your plan is to resin the inside or something..

I have lots of glue on the inside, I went crazy with that stuff. Are you talking about the exterior seams?

no sir. interior.

i usually do that. mix wood glue w/my saw dust & it makes a nice paste. home made wood filler ftw.

 

[dakotap 10+ year member]

I'm gonna have to do that then. I've heard about doing that before, just figured the glue would be enough alone.

I've got like 4 bucket fulls of MDF dust in mah garage. It's invaluable for two reasons: color matching woodfiller, and more importantly, spill cleanup. I dumped an entire container of minwax mahogany stain on my garage floor, and before it spread everywhere, just put a ring of dust around the spill, throw dust on the top, and just sweep it all up
