Shower farts still piss me off.

I think theyre pretty neat. When the water runs down your crack as you let one out... its like shitting in a crockpot.

I'd like to see a tutorial on how to roundover edges, make 45's, and how to flush mount a sub. Thanks for the video. Time to invest in that tool.

Cut the inner baffle use a flush trim bit to cut the second. once youve got them all mounted up. much easier.

roundover corners is simple. just use a roundover bit and away you go.

45s i wont get into those because they are worthless.

flush mount follows the smae thing here but you cut one baffle to the outer diameter of your basket. The right tool goes a long way in this stuff.

What type of bit? Mine seems to always blow dust in my face. I haven't seen any downward spiral bits but maybe I just missed it.

you can do a spiral up cut or a down cut., If its not on a router table you want the down cut. on a router table you want the upcut to help pull the wood down.

Hmm weird I haven't seen a down cut, I will have to look harder. I usually just throw goggles on and it's a non issue. But that just looks 10x less messy lol.

I just use a straight bit. a lot cheaper. but I could see the desire to want to shoot the dust downwards if you dont have suction. my routers do.

I use a plank of wood too. a jig would be nice but I haven't suffered using the plank so I dont have justification to buy the jig I guess.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Yes exactly, I misspoke myself in the video, you do need to do two passes with a plunge router as well, it is just much easier as the design of a plunge allows for quick depth change via the stop.
