what do you guys do for bracing??

Coarse threaded screws that are long enough to hold together what you want.

Bracing you can use 1 x 2 , 2x4 I have used threaded rods before with great success also. Just remember to subtract your bracing from the total volume. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Dont use screws use a naumatic nailer. Its so much quicker and better. I also used Liquid Nails (subfloors) Drys quick. Took no time to put it together

that **** aint exspensive. alls u really need is Table saw, compressor and nail gun. My dad just bought a new Table Saw. Makes it ez. Doing all the cutting it took me 2 hours. 15 minutes putting it together and about another half n hour sanding away extra liquid nails. Thats for a Single 12" Truck Box. The funnest part was i Nailed and Glued the bottom piece upside down. We had to take a hammer and knock it out. I already had the Sides on it when we realized.

How much was the nail gun?

For a Good one go to sears. Thinking to spend atleast 100$-250$. Get a good air compressor too. Those arent that much you can get good one for under 100$.
