Hey everyone, this thread is about building boxes. Lets keep everything here at the beginner level. We wanna keep it simple to help the many people who are new to this and want to learn.

We have had a lot of questions about building boxes. Azn did a remarkable job with his thread about using Sketch Up. Now lets build a box similar to what Azn has done.

If you don't have access to alot of tools, let a local lumber yard cut the pieces for you. Lowes, Home Depot and other local stores will cut your wood for you at a minimal cost. (Make sure you provide the RIGHT measurements)

I cut out all the pieces except the baffle board. The Baffle Board doesn't get cut until everything is put together. I find that this method works well for most boxes.

First, I draw (hard to see it in the picture) where everything goes on the bottom board. The back and one side are then attached to the bottom. Use plenty of glue and screws and remember to predrill all holes. MDF cracks easily.

We don't wanna work inside a box, so we will add the port now. The two port pieces are put together outside of the box and then placed on the bottom board and attached.

I'm sure everyone has seen the Staple Gun. I only use staples to temporarily hold pieces together. Then the pieces are predrilled and screwed together. Many of you don't have access to a staple gun. Have a friend hold the pieces together while you predrill all the holes. After everything is predrilled, glue it and screw it.
