What I learned:
    With fabrication, your product is almost never what you see in the computer. This is a very tough fact to accept and need mental preparation for. Even though my first attempt at laying out the pieces worked with each dimension exact, screw and bolt did not fit. I found this strange and had to sand down the connection to make it fit. I also had to offset the bolt into the box more than planned because the screw was moderately rusted. Also, I learned that super glue, at least the brand I used, create fumes that hung on to the sides when the box is enclosed. This gave the clear box an uneven frosted glass look. These problems I ran into taught me that material and joinery play a huge role in fabrication. Even if it looks beautiful when rendered on the computer, the object in physical material might not give the same effect.
