Hi guys,

for my 13" mirror box, I simply follow the information in Berry-Kriege's
book. 
I used a piece of solid wood (for each corner) about 1"x 5", glue the to
side wall of the mirror box and to reinforce it I screwed the plywood
panels to it.
And about 1 cm from the top of the box, and a few centimeters above the
point where I'll place the mirror cell, I placed diagonals ( I do not
know what it is in English, but it's something that's is used to
reinforced the box and to keep the box square).

I though about using a dovetail joint, but I  didn't have the skill yet,
well I still don't but I'm getting better in joinery :-)
