How do you go about making a cutsheet after you've gotten the external dimensions?

Start with the largest pieces of wood and work your way down. Make them fit, it's basic math!

I like to use my brains. It also helps to lay the panels out so that your cuts with the same length get cut in one pull. That will ensure they are identical.

I like to plan the construction before I plan the wood sizes. Sometimes assembly can be simplified by choosing certain overlaps and the way the pieces fit together.

Yea, just look at it with the dimensions on the enclosure for you..I like to do the largest panels first and work my way down which is usually: Top+Bottom, Back, Front, Sides, Port Piece 'A', and (if applicable) Port Piece 'B'...
