Scotnemily Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thx M8! Nice looking box! I actually do quite a bit of wood work, at least when I have time to do it. And while my saw is really nothing special, I do have one of those Incra Ls fences. https://incra.com/table_saw_fences-tsls_fences.html I am just so busy all of the time I didn't want to take time to cut it myself. In the end I realized I didn't have to buy anything else. I found all the tools I needed in my garage on the self. I think I am going to take a vacation day from my 1st job on Friday and start cutting. I might even cut a few quick pieces today on my lunch break. I will take some pictures as I go. Thanks for the encouragement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotnemily Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Not much time to work on it today. I did get 2 notches cut out in the front panel. I used my jig saw and a straight edge. I was going to use the table saw and a dado blade, but it was not a stable as I wanted it since it stuck up 36" off the saw. I need to make a taller fence to hold it steady. that will be a project for another time. I did manage to get it pretty square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotnemily Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I have almost everything cut. I still have the top and two sides. I also have to cut a notch in 2 more panels. I also have to cut out the holes for the ports and the speakers. I should get that done tomorrow and start glueing it together. Here are the cut pieces so far.

Scotnemily Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Well I almost had a big oops! I knew the whole time I was going to need to figure out my internal bracing and cut that too. Some how even though I knew I needed to do that, it didn’t get translated to the front of my brain. I remembered it earlier. I had to mock something up and get some dimensions so I could cut it. I will have to cut that tomorrow too before I can start gluing it together. I was almost in trouble as I had to fit my bracing around my ports running down the center of my box. I’ll post more pictures tomorrow. here is a rough mock up of the box.

Scotnemily Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well I worked on the box today. Unfortunately I didn’t get to the glue stage yet. I have all of the boards cut, except the cut outs in the front baffle. If I would have made the braces a higher priority I wouldn’t have had to have so many small parts. Oh well. I underestimated the time to cut all of these holes. Took a while longer than I was expecting. The port holes fit the 6” pvc perfectly. however I hit a snag. Easy to fix but I ran out of time. I need to make the hole about 1/8” larger. Sub doesn’t fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just roundover the top edge maybe 3/8" and it usually drops right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotnemily Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I thought about doing that, but I don’t think it will be quite enough. I did double check my hole and it is to the manufacture specs, but it is off about 1/8” I think looking at it again. I’ll just rabbet it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
