I built most of my furniture while I was in high school, and we had an AMAZING wood shop. Sad thing is, my brother and I were the only ones to actually use it to it's potential. Everyone else just made cutting boards or glued random boards together to make un-square projects. Before we moved to Guthrie, OK we lived in Stillwater, OK, where I built roughly 50 boxes on the tailgate of my truck (hence why a lot of box pictures are taken on the tailgate of a white dodge truck). Only within the last year have I had an actual woodshop to work in. Its not big, but it's so nice to be able to work whenever I want. I have added a couple of shelves since this picture to get some tools off the floor, but this is my workshop.

The only people ive seen make money with custom furniture is having a custom cabinet business be 90% of the income. Everyone needs cabinets, some will pay for custom, and very little of those people will want custom furniture. Nobody has a problem buying junk Ashley particle board furniture for $1000. But, spend $1000 on a piece of custom furniture that might not be as big? No way jose.. I just dont get it.

Im going to school to be an Agronomist (study of crops and soils) because i grew up farming and thats where my passion is. I'll probably always do this on the side.

Glass working is a lot of fun. Can get almost unbearable in the summer standing in front of the "glory hole" where you re-heat pieces (2500 degrees F).

Well, it is RealTree camo carpet. I'm sure you could go to any flooring store and order it.

Thats actually indoor/outdoor carpet. I was a salesman at a flooring store in high school. It was awesome. Haha.

Thanks! Im located in Guthrie, OK, right between DD in OKC and Kicker in Stillwater... im a student at OSU and builds boxes on the side. Luckily, more people in the area are going bigger and better as far as systems go, so its giving me the opportunity to build some awesome stuff. Also, all my customers basically give me free reign to do what i want with design work and extras for the boxes i build. I'll be posting a lot of my old box builds in a couple of days when i get back to OK.

I was approached a couple of weeks ago by a customer to build a box. He already had the design, only problem was school was getting busy for me, so i had to put him off a couple of weeks. I finally got some free time today to build it. The bedliner is drying as im typing this, and once its dry I'll be painting the port red (seems almost standard on SSA boxes...) and he'll be picking it up tomorrow, so I'll get a couple of pictures of it installed (and hopefully playing if its not raining). Specs: 6.8 cubes net 8.5" Octaport 32 hz All this going in a Dodge Caliber.

Customer came by, and we put the sub in, put the box in the car, and wired it up. Setup sounds AMAZING running off a Sundown 3k. Sub could definitely take more power. We literally could not have fit a bigger box in this vehicle. Was a perfect fit. Here's a little video to show what this thing can do! *Correction: The box is actually tuned to 34 hz. That's what I get for thinking about 2 boxes at once.

No idea. Haha. I'll find out when he gets here. Hopefully we can hook it up and get it playing before he leaves. Im excited to hear it!

Box is done! Now just waiting for the customer to get here in a few hours so we can put it in his vehicle (and mayhe get to hear it!).

Second coat of bedliner on. Will be painting the port in the morning.

Yep. A $250 Craftsman table saw. does pretty good. Just wish the table was bigger on it. And thank you!

This was box number ~160 for me, and ive never once built 2 boxes the same.

NEVER thought this box was going to get the attention it has. I just wanted to do something unique. Im very thankful that my customers allow me to build these boxes and let me "go wild" and basically do what i want.

Might be selling the Sundown amps and getting this beast when it comes out.... http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_36135_Orion_HCCA200001D.aspx

Happy customer.

Thanks everyone! Bobby's coming by in a few minutes to pick it up. I'll get some pictures of it installed in the vehicle.

Thank you! I just like doing this for fun while I go to school to make a little extra cash. I wish this industry was bigger so I could do this for a living. I do however plan to open up a custom furniture shop when I'm older.

Box is done and complete. Customer will be picking it up tomorrow!

Im located in Guthrie, OK and he is currently located in Cushing, but he'll be moving back to Texas for his job in a month or so.

Bedliner is done and the paint on the port is drying. After the port is dry, I'll be painting the SSA logo on the brace red.

Bed liner is drying as I'm typing this and about ready to head out and paint the port and paint the SSA logo red. Will be posting a picture as soon as those are done.

100% assembled and ready for bedliner! Box came out awesome. Now I REALLY cant wait to hear this beast. It's sad that the 14" Octaport looks small on this box...
