SLA ht build

#1 Post by lancemhorsley »

Last week I started a new build because my wife is sick of me going down to the church to listen to music haha. I want to use these for a home theatre and stereo in my basement, and possibly to to help with mixing. I am building a table tuba as soon as I am finished. I used rough sawn lumber from a few trees I cut down a few years ago. I could not come up with wide enough panels everything was a little short and or narrow, so I had to try to be creative. This was my first attempt at doing inlay so keep that in mind lol. here we go!

Thanks and no the boarder around the letters happend because I did not make it tight enough, and it still needs some filling.

I finished the baffle this afternoon I had to drill a hole in the bottom of my router for the small holes, because I did not have a small enough jig. It worked pretty good for the most part but took extra time.

I am rooting for you. Haven't had the guts to step to inlays yet. Been thinking a THT or TT would take a big one like a champ. Looking forward to see the end results.

Lelands craftsmanship is on a whole different level. I would only be skilled enough to clean his shop!
Seriously though this is a lot of fun.

Oh dude, are you kidding after looking at that cab? :bull:

I'm going to the shop and beat my head on the saw.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.

Your builds are always amazing, tweeters, crossover etc everything not just the box.

Thanks, Did anyone notice I put one of the A's backwards :wall: sometimes I can be a tard. So should I just copy this box and do one of each on my second sla? And if I were going inlay something for bill fitzmaurice would BFM suffice? Taking votes
