Here's some shots of the second cab which I've been able to work on while I get the first sealed up properly (tweets are still leaking a little).
The second set of reflectors you sent, Leland, I trimmed one of them about an eighth of an inch or less and the rest fit with only some sanding.

My square wasn't too happy about this but, I had made the gap in the center just enough too wide to warrant
an extra little bit of spacer besides the 1/8" scrap piece down the middle. It turned out just fine in the end after
the second cheek was in place, the two pushing against each other adequately.

And, here's a coffee table full of tweets. I'm low on funds so I bought the unmatched tweets
from Leland - they were all great except one slightly weak one.

I was very happy with cab #1 and cab #2 is even better. Here's the other butt cheek glued
and cured, one side on and one to go.

The more you make the better they get. This array is very nice - very straight, leak free and fits
in the cab beautifully. I had put layer after layer of ABS down the middle/back seam and still kept
seeing light through it with the flashlight test. So, I ended up putting a coat of ABS right down the
middle of the front seam and voila - no more light - all good! That's 22 gauge bare copper wire you see on the back
with the alternately rotated element housings - works really well and makes the soldering a ten minute job.

The ugly ABS line will of course not be seen after the diffuser is in place.

Side two, cab two going on with the obligatory squeeze-out pics.
With the exception of current cab #1 pics this brings us up to date. Cab #1 needs finishing and a decision on what to do about the backs.
I'm sort of regretting not making full sides but I thought of perhaps gluing a piece of 3/8" ply from butt cheek apex to butt cheek apex and
filling from the ends of that piece to the ends of the sides overlap - also 3/8" - with fiberglass. Any fiberglass folks out there care to
comment on what would be involved with that? Thanks,
