Have not nailed it together yet but was curious if the inside is too big. Thanks

That is a stroller wheel. I am going to cut the length down to 36 inches. The height and depth of the box is 14"x14"

you can definitely go much shallower - 6" from bottom to top clear inside is plenty for almost any controls.  Older spinners are about the deepest components you are going to see.

Ok cool so I will make the height a little shorter than. I guess 36" x 6 1/2"

You should be good with those dimensions
