Understood. I took that picture before I got my squaring jigs put in, cause they were blocking the shot of the braces I was so proud of. Thanks Bill! Here is how we are looking this morning:

Panel 7 is in. Looking good. No problems here....



Made the panel 7 braces. New technique is killing it! I'm much happier.

Say, Bryson...

What driver is that? It doesn't look like the 15" Dayton I'm using. Is it a Lab 12 or something?

Its the Dayton DVC385-88. They were on sale for $99 at one time. So i picked up 2 in hopes to build a THT or 2. It's time to use it.

That thing is going to be awesome. Keep up the good work!

Didn't get too much done today, next set of braces in. Should get another panel cut and installed tomorrow...

Braces in and looking good...


Top shot with both braces in place....

Panel 8 in today. This one gave me trouble, just a little warped and getting it pulled out was a challenge. but it's fine now!

I know it looks like it's not square top to bottom, but it is. Just a strange angle thing.



I made the braces too, they will go in tomorrow night.

And some additional shots for you guys....



Looking good!


Good stuff! I decided today that i'm doing the T18 next. Don't tell the wife.

It's looking very good, but don't plan your next build just yet. My first build was a THT, then came another Tht. After hearing how good the bass was I decided to build tlahs and a curved sla. And then a bunch of others. And a lot more to come.... I'm not sure if I am sad or super excited!

I'm doing that T18. I don't have the room, need or, the WAF points for another THT. I have tritrix mains, so this will be more than enough. I need a T18 for the garage. I find these builds therapeutic, that's why I don't rush. If I want to hear some bass in the meantime, I can fire up 4 T24s! A T18 will be nice, smaller and a fun little build. I already have the MCM woofer, so i'm on my way.

Next set of braces are in:



Looking good. It's a slow boat, but it's going well....

Panel 9 is in.... looking good. This one was not as much trouble as the last. I have panel 10 (corner) already to go in tomorrow. The size of this beast is becoming a real thing now...

I'm jealous of your glue joints. You must be cheating and "caulking" the joints!

- Melifluonze

I'm applying enough, first pass to have adequate squeeze out, then using my finger in a glove to spread it down. Makes me feel better that there is adequate squeze out and I can clearly see the joints. Its more than a little obsessive, I admit, but I like it.

At the this point I've used almost one tube.

That's a really sharp build. Nice and square and good looking joints. Well done.
