OSB for braces?

#1 Post by sine143 »

Is this a legitimate strategy? I've got a ton of osb laying around, (making my V-plate out of it).

2x AT (1 mcm, 1 gto 804)
2x SLA Pro (dayton pa6, 6 goldwood piezo loaded)
1x bastard XF208

I don't see why not. It's an edge glue joint, where osb actually has strength.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.

wasnt sure if I had to worry about rattle or anything, since it might disintegrate. But sounds good. I have so much of it haha.

I'd dado them into the panels to stabilize the joint.

Normally, I would, but I just had both my router AND my jigsaw die on me. The router I can understand, I've run it hard on 3 or 4 electric guitar bodies, but the jigsaw.... bleh.

I had to cut the baffle hole by hand hahahaha. Thankfully after touching it up with a rasp it looks pretty nice
