Update - I finally got the MDF yesterday - all panels cut to size, and the guys at the lumber yard did a really good job. Yesterday I put five sides of each box together and caulked all the inside joints with clear silicone. Today I applied the first coat of primer - one more to go. I decided to try Benjamin Moore black chalkboard for a finish, instead of the truckbed liner stuff. So tomorrow, I'll apply another coat of primer in the morning, followed by the first finish coat tomorrow afternoon.

The mailman brought a new Jasper model 400 circle jig on Friday, payment for my woodworker friend who is helping with the cutouts. Just my luck that his folks were celebrating their 40th anniversary yesterday, so the cutting of the holes will have to wait a few days. I'll be ready - the centers for the cutouts are marked - ready when he is. In the meantime, I still have to cut the fiber glass panels for box lining. Not looking forward to that....

I will post pix when the job is done. One question before I go - any ideas on the best tool to make clean cuts on the cardboard mailing tube? I'm thinking a utility knife with a new blade, but I'm open to other ideas.
