It has, and we're all really excited. After 2-3 days of cutting we're almost done, we have 3 of each panel and the sides with only half the braces left to cut. We're going to build some extra tables and start assembly next week.

We would've liked to dado the sides but I think we'll pass on that for now, I've been searching through the forums all day trying to find ideas for jigs that will simplify duplicating the drawing, I'm thinking we'll use the router to cut something like this and we'll have it for the next builds.

Thought I'd post an update, everything is going well with the tubas, cuts were all pretty good although we didn't find any T-rails for the mastercraft saw and the rails we had for our cutting jig weren't perfect.

3rd one is a bit behind but we're hoping to get everything done this week, put the tops on, paint, break in the drivers.
So very excited to have ordered the driverack pa2 that just came in stock in the region; having that kind of control over the system will change things. Looking forward to starting on the otops

4 Tubas in the snow.

The spacer on one of the baffles had some leaks, the plywood was missing pieces that went straight through. Fixed. 3 new tubas leak tested - safe to say any doubts we ever had have been wiped as soon as these were plugged in. The crowd went crazy, the whole crew was ecstatic. Next up we have enough funds left for a few Omnitops and pretty soon we'll need some storage space to start building more Tubas :D

Finally moved on to the OTops, it has been such a breeze compared to the T60s, we got all the cuts done in a few hours, assembly started and now we're waiting to receive the drivers to move on. We also came up with a circle jig for the router, seems to work pretty well; we kept a baffle and handle jig for building more as soon as we get gigs and $$...
