Never thought of using drywall.
I'm thinking of finding something to frame the edges and corners with so those tiny imperfections wouldn't be noticeable but haven't decided on what to use yet.
Anyways, thanks for the tips!!
no, oh gawd no! I didn't recommend using drywall. what I was saying is that if you have sharp corners on your box and for some reason you have to yank your box from your car... (like you taking your car into get fixed, or it'll be parked for a week while you're on vacation) you are more likely to put a hole in the wall of your house if you accidentally bump against the wall.

There is a router bit that is designed to clean up edges where two pieces of wood meet. My buddy uses it on all the boxes he makes, he makes sure that the sides will over lap by about 1/8", and then uses the bit to get them to the perfect length.

I can imagine it being hard to cover up imperfections with that stuff, paint is also really hard too.
