Port Distance From Side and Bottom

put it wherever it fits....

So it doesnt have to be any certain distance from the side wall and bottom wall? Or can it be flush against it?

If it was flush against it that would nearly completely defeat the purpose of the port. It depends on the size of it, but I would say 2-4 inches.

i think he means flush with the front, if so thats fine.

Dude, start over. Describe your box in it's entirety, and then ask us a question. You'd be golden.

you dont have to brace the port. just make sure the hole you cut for it is a very snug fit, then just top it off with gorilla glue.

1 1/2 times the port diameter is reccomended for clearance.

1. Jigsaw will work fine if you work slowly and draw a perfect circle to begin with.

2. Common practice is to put the pieces on piece by piece. First, predrill two holes on the two ends of the wood that you are putting together. Immediately drop screws into these two holes (No glue). Then predrill as many holes as you would like between these two screws. Then remove these two screws, and then put them back in so you have like 1/2" between the two pieces that you are putting together. Put lots of glue inbetween the two pieces of wood, and then screw every screw down.

3. 100% silicone caulk from brand GE at your local hardware store.

4" behind it MINIMUM, other than that you should be good. Id also keep it 2" away from any wall

Thx, and to get the cutting on the jigsaw started, do i just drill a big hole or what?

Drilling a hole would be good. But...

Some jigsaws you can gay into making the bit fall right into place. Start by holding the jigsaw so the teeth face down, and put the feet of the jigsaw in the center of the circle. then turn the jigsaw on and rotate the jigsaw so the teeth begin cutting into the wood.
