Thank you, Turkish. That .PDF file seems to have lots of info on box building... a good place to start.

I'm surprised there's not a CBN Group that specializes on building boxes. If I had any experience building them, I'd probably start one. I have a shortage of boxes in China as well. So, it seems a natural next step to build them. I need to locate(local) sources for the thin veneer wood to cover the "box". I did get a "sample" from a building site, so maybe I can talk to my current wood suppliers (a real challenge given my limited Chinese language skills). Maybe Turkish could join our group to share his experiences in building boxes.

I think Tins are generally easier to "fit up" than wood boxes

I make my own, they're always exactly the size I need ;-)
