Cutting the wood for the box...my shop landlord's super nice table saw...he's got a digitally controlled motorized fence system on it. it was nice having him cut the wood for my box...he owns his own woodworking company and builds custom cabinets.

It's sweet because he stocks Baltic Birch and sells it to me stupid cheap. $34 for a 5x5 sheet vs Special Order $74 for a 4x8 sheet at Menards is super nice, plus the fact that his cabinet shop is across the street from my shop and since I don't have a truck or any way to get large sheets of wood to my shop, it's WAY easier and cheaper (gas) than having to have a friend pick some up or borrow a truck. It also beats the heck out of spending 4hrs of trying to cut a box precisely with a circular saw and guide (my table saw only goes up to 15")

Bout this yesterday from a friend! I've used it before, but he didn't really need it anymore and I will be able to put it to use far more often than he would.

Washed the back window, so better picture lol. Still breaking her in, hoping to meter it this weekend.

Thanks everyone. And no, the cone is an upgrade and the dustcap is a tfs full dish dustcap.

Redoing my spare tire well cover... I had put leftover resin on it from other projects but wanted to water proof it completely. All sanded down, ready for a coat of resin. Note : my goal was to waterproof it, not to be pretty lol

Used my new 5/8ths roundover on the baffle

Used some mdf to make the port removable from the outside.

Also did a 3/8ths roundover on inside and outside of the port exit

2012-11-22_02-21-32_807.jpg

Sealing the port with awesome tape for now
