[miked]

Very nice. You work so neatly and quickly...I'm jealous! What are you doing for jacks? Where are they going?

[hifibob]

Yeah you don't get to say that, he's making a lot of us look bad but certainly not you.

Question: "So, what did you do this weekend?

Average Forum Member Response: Well, I got panels 3 and 4 on two cabs.

Hifibobs Response: Not much, man. I built 4 DRs and 2 T60s but they aren't painted yet though. I'm so disappointed!



Just pulling your leg, Bob. I'm just jealous of your skill, that's all.

miked, I am putting the jacks right about the same place you are: centered 12" down the back.

Everybody, I have no intent of making anyone look bad. I took a couple days off the other week to jump-start the build and I have been riding the high ever since. I need these for a gig on the 21st and I just might make it! Unfortunately, the money will run out before the BB does. I will have to wait another month or so to finish the OT12s, but I want to flesh them out in the meantime. The only gloating I intend is toward a particular smoking duck!

Thanks for the compliments folks, it really gives me a boost.

No worries, draehn. We just have a habit of busting the chops of those that glide through a build. But it is good-natured ribbing. We're all friends in the same boat here. And we know you didn't get to the skill level you are now without making a whole lot of firewood along the way. You've earned the right to a quick, clean build.

Continued good luck to you! And keep the pics coming too.

[David Raehn]

Home sick today, but couldn't resist finishing up the flanges on cabinets 3 and 4 as well as panel 11(bottom angle). I painted the throats of cabinets 1 and 2 Sunday afternoon. Getting ready for the great 'second side' adventure on Thursday night.

Time for a nap.....

[David Raehn]

Couldn't help from going out to the shop again before bed.... Last two sets of 6/10 braces in.

[Radian]

This is pretty cool with everyone building-off at the same time.

Ah, now I see your brace jig! What a great idea. /stolen Just in time too; I do my 6/10 braces tomorrow.
Er...I don't see any clamps holding that strip of wood in. Double sided tape? Shorty brad nails? I think I see two screw holes though...

[David Raehn]

Yes there are two screws holding it in place. I can actually take that strip out now because the bottoms of the braces are screwed in, but I'll wait until tomorrow.

[miked]

Cool, thanks. Did you toenail the tops of the braces in, or is that weight resting across the board taking care of it?

[David Raehn]

weight only.

[David Raehn]

Started putting the second sides on cabinets 1 and 2. Had to chase a tiny bit of "Outt-o-square" around here and there but finally got them to submit. Good squeeze-out all about. 1/16" here and there will disappear during finishing.

Taking a short break after the first two. Even when it goes well there is still a great amount of mental anguish involved!

Don't freak out: The big black circle is the rubber cup I keep my screws handy in ( called a fernco cap fitting).

[David Raehn]

Alrighty.... That's enough for one night.

I promise to get better pictures later
