When the glue has dried, take the clamps off the box and start sanding. Sand the edges flat and sand off any imperfections or pencil marks from the front and back. I like to sand off all the hard edges and corners just enough so it feels good in my hands.
Dust it off carefully and put a coat of varnish on it. I put the bolts in the T-nuts so I could hang the box up to dry without it touching anything. When the varnish is completely dry rub it down with fine sand paper or steel wool to get a nice smooth finish. Put as many coats of varnish as you like.
