First Build - Jack 10s

#1 Post by benjammin »

I'm bored at work so even though I haven't really started to "build", I did order the components from SpeakerHardware on Tuesday (1/29).
I'm not electo-tech savy so I went with the pre-built crossover and melded arrays.
The Jacks will start off being used for music in my carpenter buddies new garage/workshop and backyard that he just built. He (carpenter) is also a musician but hasn't played out in years. Hopefully this build will push him to consider playing (and song writing) more.

Good call on the pre-build cross-over. I usually build mine, but the prebuilt one from Leland are very well done and save a lot of time.

I'll be sure to post pics of the build.
Until then, I post pics of the workshop.
From "Jack's Shack":

To "Jack's Shack2":

Not sure what the inside dimension are, 22' x 30' I think. It's open to the rafters in the middle with "mini" second floor storage on the front and back.
The power is to be hooked up this week and then the sawdust will start flying!

I also have complete shed jealously. You might as well make yourself really unpopular and post some pictures of a really nice table saw. :cry:

Inside is a mess right now but becoming organized this weekend. Not sure what a "really nice" table saw is but there'll be pics.

Passed final inspection and power meter got set at The Shack last week.
Just got my shipment from Speaker Hardware, thanks Leland!
Waiting for drivers on back order though and haven't picked up the plywood yet. Still not sure when the sawdust will start flying, not this weekend, maybe next.
