No words tonight from me. Its half 3 in the morning, and Noah has his 1st drums lesson at 9am.

Not sure the effort of the holes is worth it in 6mm ply braces, but theyre in there now.

From what I've learned in Dutch, that's the same as .....hal-ef dree (phonetic spelling by me).

But if i remember correctly half 3 in the UK means 3:30, hal-ef dree in Dutch is 2:30.

Ok, I'll wait for the definition from Charles.

Half 3 is indeed three thirty (3:30). It's a colloquial shortening of half past three.

Weird.

You should see the side of the road they drive on, thats weird!


EDIT: Sorry Charles for the thread de-rail. Build is looking good, carry on.

Don't get me started on the beers they drink

Cabs are looking great and the braces look real solid. Next time I build subs, I will only cut the windows out of the large braces. Of course I'll cut holes in any braces that the plans say NEED holes, but other than that, it's not worth the trouble IMO. In my T48 build thread I weighed the braces before and after cutting. IIRC I saved about 3 pounds. Totally not worth the half a day it took to hollow them all out, not to mention all the sawdust I had to clean up.

A bloke in my first job used to tell me regularly why we drive on the left; because swords are drawn from and therefore worn on the opposite side to the persons dominant hand, and most are right handed, so when getting on a horse one has to mount from the left (kerb) side.

I'm fine with a bit of side tracking. Thank you gents.

Panel 7 installed last night: Cut mitre on bottom edge; routed handle using an oversize jig template (made using holesaw again) - Sheesh, how many router set-ups are required! 14 handle pockets to route and roundover in total, for 2 cabs. Gonna try and do as many panel handle pockets as possible next time, to reduce total set-up times.

Panel 7 braces to do.

The glue has been scraped off in the photos shown, to ease clean up, but there was squeeze out.

Also, just wanted to show BF name plate I made and glued on back of the J12L's - i agonized over where it could be stuck on the front but figured it wouldnt work for my finishing detail/style. I made 4 of these half size laminated tags, before I'd committed to building the subs, which is nice. Am gonna stick the tag above the jack sockets again on the subs.

Laminated name plates - somewhat smaller than the ones available in aluminium.

It was also the polite and non confrontational way of riding as the person passing on their horse could see your weapon hand. (Apparently!) How much of this is actually true, I've no idea......
