Looking for a box builder in the San Diego area

try the regional forums, sometimes u can have better luck in a certain area by going there. also, if u never build one because u never have, then u never will. go for it man, its not that difficult

 
what types of wood do i use? glue? do i use screws? putting the thing together will be easy im sure i just dont know what types of materials to use, if someone helped me out with what i need, it would be much appreciated. Regional forums?

 
I live about 2 hours from there, if you can't find anybody closer, I do the occasional box build for customers... I can make it look real nice, got any screen shots of the design?

 
try steve...hes from rancho cucodzzzl
he might meet you half way
He's a good guy and will most likely meet you half way.

I think james bang is out that way...
Not sure if he's building boxes for people still or not.

I don't think he does that anymore. Not sure but he does good work.
Anyways op Zuescilicious has a guy in TJ that builds boxes in a wordworking shop. I've been there it looked like good stuff.
His buddy has been pretty busy lately and has been taking awhile to build boxes, either way I'm first in line when he's available to build me a box...lol...As you can see, I've needed a few boxes built too.

 
The key to making a solid box is the straight cuts and the glue. The glue is what really holds the box together. The screws just kinda keep it in place, the glue bonds the two pieces of wood together, so having perfectly straight cuts and clamps makes for really nice assembly. Also have some 90 degree clamps when putting up side walls to make sure they're square and true.

AND REMEMBER!!! ALWAYS PRE-DRILL THE HOLES OR THE MDF WOOD WILL SPLIT. Use 3/4" MDF wood //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
