Scotnemily Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Yeah I know kerfs do work, but another thing I was worried about was the edge showing through in the kerf. some times you can see the lines through the kerf. It might not show under the vinyl, but then again it might. I almost bought these before anyway, so this time I decided to give them a try. Might need to build 2 boxes and sell one if it performs well. That way I can recover the cost of building the 1st one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotnemily Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Smart corners came in the mail today. I wont get a chance to try them out for a few days. they look nice though. I have everything I need to finish the box except time. Swapped at work so no lunch breaks for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotnemily Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I got home from work tonight about an hour early. I decided to take advantage of that time. nothing exciting, but here are the parts traced out on the boards. and here they are rough cut with the jigsaw. I needed 12. I will still need one 1/2 inch, but I am out of that size mdf. that’s all for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotnemily Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah it is a little time consuming. I spent about 45 mins tracing them out and rough cutting them. I figure it is going to take another 45 mins to run them on the router and attach them to each other. I am going to use the method Mark demonstrated. glue and nail each to the bottom of the one just cut as you go. this make since to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotnemily Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Sorry have not had anytime to work on it. I hate that everything is just sitting there waiting on me. As soon as the weather permits, have to do valve cover gaskets, upper timing chain cover gaskets, and upper and lower control arms on the car. Then I can move back to the box. 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
