The most recent plans are excellent. I can’t imagine building without such a great set of plans

Sounds great. But I’m not at the level of your playing great so not able to critique like an expert

Done except for handles and feet which will go on later today. Only a couple of whoopsies. I tried the sub to look for air leaks. No sound… rrrrrr. Well wasn’t that stupid. I hooked up the 10” to the tweeter crossover. Next was the Krylon Crystal Clear. - DO NOT USE THIS STUFF. First it runs the sec...

Fiebings Leather Dye also works quite well for wood. It'll also dye Bondo wood filler where it's almost indistinguishable from the wood. Learned this when I accidentally drilled through the back of my bass body while doing the bridge ground, whoops! Thanks. I went with Rit mostly because it was ava...

Hit my limit again. Hopefully I''m not breaking any rules (stated or unstated). I also wanted to go for a more vibrant color. I never stained wood with Rit Dye before so in staying with the learning process theme I gave it a try. Looks good. The process, so so. If you try this make sure you having s...

I must have hit my photos/post limit. I gave fair warning about lots of pictures. I seem to either take a ton or none at all. This hasn't been too frustrating of a project so I remembered to take photos. Ok, lets figure out how to make circles with the router since I have it out and then compare. Oo...

I got a lot done over the past few days and had a lot of fun watching pain and glue dry. This was my first time using polyurethane adhesive.

Thanks. And I can’t wait to hit mediocre in my skills.

It’s been a rough couple of days at work. I’ve had time to work on it but no time to post. I’ll try to play catch up tomorrow. A lot has been done including learning and trying new things. A sneak peak at something I’m trying. Will it work? Dunno but I’ll have either learned if I like it or never do...

Photos tend to show up in landscape format, so that's why some are rotated. No worries, but to be sure they look right when posted crop them if they're higher than they are wide. If you're using a phone rotate the phone to horizontal. As for criticisms, they were rampant when we started out some 20...

*delete* figured it out and fixed the post.

Placing the finished speaker pic at the beginning for those that don’t want to read through the build. Apologies for the garage lighting making it look a little splotchy.
