Re: Yet Another Table Tuba Build

I sort of wish I had used a 10" driver... The additional cost would have been small compared to the time I spent. But it is plenty loud enough with the MCM 55-2421 driver that I used. image031.jpg I added a couple of handles- otherwise there was no way I could have gotten it down the basement s...

Re: Yet Another Table Tuba Build

Final assembly and finishing: I used Minwax transparent stain, sanding sealer, and water-based polyurethane
simply because I had them lying around. Also, I wanted it to match the birch Ikea cabinets in my basement...

But I thought up an even better way: I placed a large piece of tracing paper over the edges of the panels, and marked their positions. Then I placed the tracing paper over the top panel and sh...

The assembly continues.
