Clean the wood first? straighter cuts? more wood glue?

then onto screws or L-brackets, but straight cuts and wood glue should be enough.

no shit? lol.... practice makes perfect i suppose. after making all these weird shaped boxes for firebirds and camaros, i could just about do a regular square box with my eyes closed.

Did you use screws at all?

Also, what brands of glue and caulk are you using?

How much of each did you use?

put some screws through the sides and you shouldn't have any problems... clamps help out too
