Home Stretch

The construction of the outer box for the first supermarket print shipping container is almost done. I put in a few hours (which included time spent grading and photographing some recent student drawings) at the Studio after work, during which time I attached the 6 wood panels to various inside surfaces of the outer box. All were glued and taped in place, and some also have cardboard flaps additionally securing them in place. Overnight everything will thoroughly dry. What's left is to trim the upper flaps for perfect fit, then insert the inner box and add more scrap cardboard sheets to fill any gaps. Eventually plastic sealing tape will be added at all the seams, but that may wait until I'm ready to seal up all the boxes.
