Take your time. Measure everything two or three times. Once you make the cut there isn't going back. Use plenty of glue. Its what will eventually hold the box together. Make sure you pre-drill the holes for the screws so the MDF doesnt split. Also dont put the screws right on the edge. The main thing is just take your time. Nothing can ruin a box faster than someone trying to rush it and having a bad cut or something.

Sounds like your set then. What are you going to be using to cut the MDF?? Table saw or just a Skil saw?
