I think that David is saying instead of just showing how to do the 45's in the vertical locations in the box also show how to do the horizontal corners and have them meet without having a wierd looking corner. I do all my 45's inside my boxes with fiberglass resin so when the two corners meet the resin molds to them and I don't have any complex cuts like the ones you would have with wood.

Here's a pic of what I think that David is talking about. Except mine is done with resin instead of wood. This pic doesn't show all the corners done, but it shows two 45's intersecting in the bottom corners. This is the box in my car right now.

yea my bad, i thought of that after i posted... for those corners i was planning on going the same thing as the verticals, but leaving an inch space on both sides... and then filling in with resin after that.. i dont like the thought of a pool of resin, without an reinforcement if you get what i mean.. so i like using the wood inserts wherever i can, and use the resin to tie in the corners without having a strange look, like you said.

could you use a chop saw to make the 45 degree on a 45 degree to get the corners matched up if you're using wood??
