That's what I thought when I started.... How hard could it be? It's just a box.... But after getting started it is not so easy, mind you I have zero wood working experience. I spend probably hours trying to get panels to line up and even still they are not 100%. The worst is when I tried laminating two pieces of MDF together, they all moved a bit, up to 1/16th of an inch in some spots, so now my box isn't air tights. I am hoping it will look fine after I trim the excess around the edges with a flush trim bit. Another think I messed up on is using screws... I was too cheap to get enough clamps, so I used screws and split a bunch of panels, and since mdf is so soft the threads inside are too chewed up to get the screws flush to the panels. Now I have to remove the screws and fill the holes anyway. But I definately learned a lot and will definately do this again even after all this work. I have lots of wood left over so I might build some bookshelfs for my computer.
