what kind of wood do you use and where did you buy them??

 

[b_boy02000]

3/8 MDF, home depot, $8 for a 4 foo by 8 foot sheet.

 

[weasle421]

a box needs to be at least 3/4 MDF or else you will get hella flex out of the box

yea seriously let us know becuase im tempted to go try this

 

[b_boy02000]

yup, dowels are removed, and only the back side has been glassed, jus gotta make sure ur fleece is soaked with the resin, and you will have a nice hard base to start with, and once you glass it, it will be hard as a rock, i was able to stand on my other box
