[QUOTE="defiance, post: 297363, member: 549442"] I posted this over on the eD forum and everyone seemed to like it, so I'm posting it here now [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Finished my box yesterday (added in the t-nuts and got my stainless bolts), and got my k's the day before, so this morning I finally got it all together... And I'm quite happy with the result [IMG]http://www.cei.net/~defiance/box2.jpg[/IMG] I didn't really take much in the way of pics, during construction, unfortunately - The box was originally built to be a quick-toss-in-a-15 box, but after putting a bunch of work into it, it came out great, so I thought I'd go ahead and make it a real nice one.
