Building my 2nd box ever, simple question

Glass where those two dowels meet. That little wire or string you have won't do much.

oh put cloth or mat around there?? well the dowels are glued at the ends and i did cover the whole thing in resin, its just made of a different type of wood, i bought a wooden dowel from home depot and its a different color but it is covered in resin..the wire was just to keep it perfectly straight and dont forget it will be glued and resined to the top when i put it on so i doubt they are gonna go anywhere..but i can try and get some cloth around it but i didnt wanna mess it up

did a little more today...as you can see from this pic, what i did was used some bondo on the back wall to smoothen everything out and add some rounded edges on the bottom and on the 45s and i think it came out mint!

after that, what i did was had it sanded with 400 grit paper so it was smooth as glass and then i put one last layer of fiberglass resin over where i had sanded the bondo down...it came out super super smooth and sealed tight! only thing i dont like is now its all multi colored...i really dont want to paint it, and i dont even know if i can paint it but its already sooooo freakin smooth i dont wanna do anything to it...i also spray foamed in the 45s because dont have much resin left and need that to do the top of the box, which is already to go on tomorrow and do a little touch up work but the inside of the box is almost done and im extremely satisfied with how smooth and strong it turned out..

ok so the inside of the box is done!! i think..i have 4-5 coats of fiberglass resin and 2 layers of cloth on the back wall and its literallly like glass on the inside except like i said i dont want to paint it and ruin the feel of it.. i got the top on and rounded over all the edges with the router and flared the port also slightly with a 1/2 round over bit..i must have forgot to take a few screws out cause you can see holes where i hit the screws so had to pull them out..i guess i wasnt paying attention, oh well..i still need to do a little more hand sanding and then its time for paint but im almost done, slowely but surely!! hows it look so far?

i just wanted to add a few more pics...i decided im going to paint the port and i made the flared ends of the ports a little wider and more rounded over.. maybe a mod can move this thread to the build section because im going to post stuff from my whole build now..or can i just start a new one?

i thought i would post a couple more pics while the box is drying..i decided to fiberglass the whole outside of the box first to seal it 100% and its gives the box a better finish, so as you can see its drying..i also glassed over the port too after i painted it so now it looks better.
