So I didnt get much done today.. I did however make this assembly jig for the compression driver horn module faces to help make these consistent in size and reduce sanding time. This spreads them apart right at the perfect measurement to match the horn and hold the pieces while fastening them together.. Such a simple jig to make even if you are building just 2 cabs..

OOPS 
Bill, please accept my apologies.
Bob.... I hate you even more now for both your mind control trickery as well as your crazy skills!

Yup, gotta Love Bill for basically giving away these designs...Titanium Hand wrote:However, Bill is just as likely to be happy selling world-class designs for a handsome reward to the machine that is Pro Audio consumerisim, which enables him to sell us mere mortals superior designs for the price of a weeks worth of Espresso's!
I imagine Bill as 'The Pro Audio Philanthropist' for the everyday man.

I so wish I lived closer, I'd come work for/with you on the business! My day job is the CAD world, so every thing I've done with BFM, I've remodeled in 3D ad-nauseum to try things, get cutlists closer to exact. A CNC would be the icing on the cake!hifibob wrote:
Thanks howiez.. you are pretty close, I figured all the money I save building my own cabs it was a great investment.. I actually ordered another one since my work load is drastically growing, and Im seriously considering making it a business.

Bob- do you have any "special events" scheduled? What nights are really popping- Fri and Sat I assume. Any big headliners planned this year? (It's a semi cross country drive for me, so that's why all the questions.)

Hey Bob,
I found this the other day and thought about your shop when I saw it:
https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/cnc-m ... eenLean-v1
The only disadvantages I see right off are 1.)The necessity to add tabs to the work or come up with a low profile vacuum table and 2.) It's only 4x8.
5x8 or 5x10 would be best, I guess.

Hi Rich, we always have big events but you should probably check our website for updates and see what interests you.. Its clubtherapyri.com... If you do end up coming this way please let me know!Rich4349 wrote:Bob- do you have any "special events" scheduled? What nights are really popping- Fri and Sat I assume.

The whole space saving aspect of it is great.. but you are correct, you would have to tab every single piece you cut or you would make a lot of fire wood.. Also I believe its all wood, that would def make for some inconsistencies over time and never mind the slow feed rates you would have to use so the gantry doesn't flex.. great diy machines for the money thoughdraehn wrote:Hey Bob,

Do the flat packs that you are making for Leland include double the module braces and the improvements noted here?hifibob wrote:
You guys know me to well lol.. Ive since re-cut these parts with some modification to expedite these.. I basically dado all the mating surfaces and increased the size of the cleats to help hold the little pieces straight and square while tacking together with brad nailer. Now I can get the brad nails plenty far enough out the way when it comes time to mill out the pocket holes for the module mounts.
