So I was actually able to get the side panel cut out today. It's a little bit rough as I freehanded some of it. Should be able to look much better cosmetically at the end of the build where I sand it and will finish it.

Getting an HTTP error when I'm trying to upload image.

Next I'm going to do the baffle cut out driver, Target is prior to Easter.

:mrgreen: figured that was the case.


I had a few glitches occur on this site today too. They cleared up. Maybe try uploading again tomorrow.

A few pics of the panel cut and the jig I'll use for the hole.

If the hole requirement per plan is 10 3/4" for lab 12, do I add 1/4" to account for the bit diameter? , thus putting in 11" for the Jasper jig?


Edit : I read The Jig more closely and it says it's calibrated already to use a quarter inch bit, so in this case I choose the 10 and 3/4 in slot
