I buy 4x8 sheets of BB and have the local hardware store cut them into 23x48 sheets for me. (unless I need sides, then 24x48). This means all of my panels are already the correct width. I just have a stack of 23x48's laying on my floor (maybe dewarping?)
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
^^^there goes a 23 x 52" piece of wood lol.I'm doing 2 of them and i havent wasted a piece of wood or made a bad cut on this build.Marking the width's works for me but i also mark the angle to be cut on the side so when i place the wood on the saw there is no doubt as to which way my angle should be.
I mark the angle on the side as well, but that doesn't protect against an absent minded sawblade

Been a while since I posted pics, been procrastinating a bunch considering I can't afford all the drivers yet! Here's where I'm at now:

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 hope u took into consideration that u have to cut off a 1/2" on those back panels before you cut the hand holds.

I made that mistake - recovery is that the handles on the bottom don't have room for the quarter-round inside.
