[QUOTE="NeverEnuffBass, post: 754388, member: 558167"] You can usually get away with putting a box together if its an 1/8" off. Just have to make sure its completly sealed by using wood glue on all joints and silicone on the inside edges. The wood cracked because you didn't predrill. Its always a good idea to use a countersink before screwing a box together. It you are going to use plexiglass, do a window. Use lexan because it is stronger than plexi. the lexan would need to be thick and its going to be really expensive. I never made a lexan or plexi box but I have heard horror stories about them. They are expensive to build and if you mess it up, thats a lot of money down the drain. Search this forum, there are a lot of threads on good ways to build plexi/ leaxan windows. -B.J. [/QUOTE]
