Re: Sub box construction question?I would've stuck with regular wood glue if everything had been cut on big CNC routers rather than the Harbor Freight table saw I paid $100 for used. I know the line about a poor carpenter blaming his tools, but between whatever skills I am lacking and any margin for error in my equipment small inaccuracies when cutting precise angles meant that the slight wiggle room the expanding glue allowed was a welcome luxury come assembly time even though the final strength isn't as high. The last boxes I built were less complex and I used Titebond II on them. This box is a done deal now. The top was attached with Poly glue, brads around the edges and a couple pocket screws from the inside through the driver cutout. Should hold together for the gentle use it will see at our church.Loren
