It took a lil while to build because i still don't have clamps big enough for the boxes i build. I predrilled holes and screwed the box together for a test fit (i predrill with a drill bit thats almost too large), then unscrewed the box, glued the edges, and screwed it back together.When the whole thing was together i used a strap clamp around it horizontally and put about 300 lbs of weight on top of it... 12 hours later when everything was dry, i removed the screws and the box is still strong as hell. It went home with the happy customer the night before last.</blockquote>
