    Titebond III, once dry, isactually stronger than MDF, so why is there a need for screws? Maybe if you're building a box out of fawking titanium lol.....

    TSiFTW, your statement is FTL.

    I'm just saying that why not spend the extra few minutes to reinforce it. Sheesh. LOL. BTW my info on the box wall thickness came straight from JL when these first came outThanks

    All the kids that come to me with blown up boxes are just because they used screw, and no wood glue at all.

    I get all my wood CNC cut so you can take a day just setting it up with glue and letting it dry. If you're not in a rush it works I guess.

    I am about to build a box for the W7's main rival back in the day actually:



    My newly built 05' RE XXX, 18''s of it lols.


    Box will be straight glue. Ch@dbee's box he has for sale was glued together only.

    Now you guys are finally stating the point I made earlier. Most shops do not have pro cabinet builder or the tools or know how to make perfect cuts. So it would be a bad idea to use wood glue only.
