[QUOTE="kmercury, post: 270264, member: 4087"] Got 2 seat boxes done. I am trying to use lumber I have on hand. I ripped a 2x4 in half to get some 2x2. Used those as corner bracing and cut some 1/4 ply to 11" by 11" square panel. Nailed them up with my brad nailer, painted them then added some leftover vinyl angle to the corners as trim... not to shabby. They will be filled with foam and will have 1/2 ply tops added. Moved on to the console. I nailed some scraps together to get an idea of where I wanted the wheel. With that I measured out my side pieces, cut them from 3/8 ply and nailed and glued nailers around the perimeter to hold the back, top and front. Cut those pieces, glued and nailed them with brads then secured with screws. Couple coats of painted I will install it along with the controls. [/QUOTE]
