I'm a building apprentice doing a straw bale and earth plaster build in southern indiana. Was curious if you ever thought about having an apprentice?

Amazing. Exactly my thought. Got all the materials for my own DIY build today and came across your video this evening. I thought of doing a height of 9" overall and for the sides I am thinking of plywood instead of the lumber. However, 1x6 is a good idea too. Wish you had covered the rest of build too. My dimensions are 43x37 for the top and 41x37 for the actual box. Planning to do 3/4 plywood sides. I see that you put screws on the joints. Are they strong enough? I am thinking of pocket holes. The interesting part is that I have never done carpentry in my life and this is going to be my first project. Got myself Bosch Jigsaw and the Ryobi Circular saw today. Doing the necessary calculations for the cuts tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.
