Message They're MDF, right? It's basically a matter of having a good shop setup and the right tools, and taking the time to get details right. The cuts on the wood couldn't be too difficult...just need to measure precisely and use the proper jigs to get everything aligned, and getting all the miter angles right.

I say this because I've just recently finished building some furniture myself. Doing the detail work on that type of stuff is very difficult because a lot of it is freehand work without the help of jigs. With an MDF sub box, you can eliminate most all of the freehand/eyball stuff by using jigs and taking accurate measurements. All the surfaces are flat and all the angles and dimensions can be accurately determined.

I'm not saying that it's *easy* to make them, or that the novice with a skill saw (or even a full wood shop, for that matter) could make sub box's of equal finish quality to Chris's without practice. Just that it doesn't require a huge amount of knowledge or talent, mainly just practice.
