I just accidentally cut a baffle in a rhombus shape, rather than a trapezoid, then cut another 2in short for some reason (probably the beer), and also had to recut a mounting ring

Nice progress. Making me wanna get busy with the Table Saw. If you can do it with a circular saw I don't have an excuse.
Just a warning on drinking and power tools. Probably not recommended.

I made that mistake - recovery is that the handles on the bottom don't have room for the quarter-round inside.djtrumptight wrote:I hope u took into consideration that u have to cut off a 1/2" on those back panels before you cut the hand holds.
