Box building help-please check my measurements!

[ShadowA2J]

Well, I'm starting to get ready to build my new box. Since I've never built one before, I was hoping maybe you guys could help me with my calculations. This is the box I will be building:

These are the measurements I have for the cuts. I want to know if they are right. Thanks.

(2) 36" x 26.25" top and bottom
(2) 26.25" x 12" sides
(1) 13.5" x 36" back
(1) 17.75" x 12" port
(1) 13.5" x 28.75 front

The back should be 12x34.5 and the front 12x28.75

According to the diagram you got two different measurements for the top/bottom. You should also mention if you want the sides sitting between the top and bottom, or outside the top and bottom.....You're diagram measurements shows both ways, but the pictur isnt clear...

Is either way better? I just picked one and went with it. I've never built a box before, and I don't have a lot of money, otherwise I would just do trial and error. The first one needs to be the last one I build, if you know what I mean.

All sides should go between the top and bottom. Thats why they are 12" but the total box height will be 13.5
