Nice work.
I believe there is:
1) knowing how to do a job
2) knowing how to help others do a job
3) knowing how to include children in a job

Thanks guys, I swear there not street kids HAHA There mom makes them change into oldest most abused clothes she can find when they work in the garage, which are usually to small. Just as I did, the kids have grown up in the garage and around tools. Teaching them the proper way to use the tool is most important. I don't know how many times my dad yelled at me for using something as a hammer that wasn’t a hammer. Their attention span runs short but I would rather have them in the garage then sitting in front of a Damn TV or video game as some of the kids on the street do (and their parents wonder why there socially awkward).
Bob H., Let me know if I can help? PM me and we can discuss the air box. Joe

Nice work. And Bob H. is right, the air box is very well done. Now that I look to the ones I made....on a scale from 1 to 10 , your air box is 9 and mine is 0.25.
Maybe redoing again is a good idea. My mistake was not including that outside collar on my boxes.
Thanks for sharing and keep the good working.
All the best
