OrionStang Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Only thing I don't like about the stain idea, is I built the baffles between the top and bottom pieces. I'd need to find some thin birch and cut a beauty baffle, or even find some sort of laminate. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnbikecrazy55 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Or you could do vinyl wrapped beauty panels with 'plugs' that hold them in place , like how some speaker grilles are held on. Just an idea. When I cut big sheets of plywood or mdf with a circular saw I clamp the straight edge right to the sheet , and then just use it like a rip fence for the circular saw. Seems to work better than just drawing a line and going slow. At least has for me. Looking good!! I hate long signatures.... ...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head...

OrionStang Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I think I may just leave it raw. There is going to be so little wood seen on the front of this thing, its all subs and port. I'll decide when I reach that point. Thats what I do when I cut long pieces. I have a 48" x 1" high straight edge. Anything under 20" or so though, and I free hand. I can go pretty fast and still stay true, just need a great blade. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Got one side of the bracing done. The other side will be done tomorrow, gotta pick up a couple more nuts. T-nuts on the outside. Nut and bolt on the inside. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Need to brace the back wall to the port somehow. Got a couple ideas, but I don't want to block off the port too much, and depends what I can find at Lowe's.

OrionStang Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think, but I want a brace on each port wall, because its such a long piece. A 'T' will still flex anyway. Im thinking about using a sort of L-bracket on each side, but I wouldn't want them any more than 1/2" wide.
