Hello I've cut all the main parts, now to start putting them togather. quick question the plans say:

Install the horn bottom and horn top. Drill pilot holes though the horn top and bottom before installing them, even if using a brad nailer. With brads draw lines connecting the pilot holes to show you where to drive the brads.

But it does not say if I should start using adhesive on this step, I'm assuming "yes" but last time I assumed something I got yelled at so now I'm trying to follow the plans, please clarify.

Thank you!

Once you've drawn the lines, and dry-fit, then go and add the PL and assemble the horn top and bottom. I'm presuming that you have already attached the throats to the baffle.

Thanks for the reply,

no, I still have not started to put anything toaster. I'm thinking of starting today or tomorrow. In addition to following the plan is there any advice you may have to make a smoother build?

Thanks.

Start with the exterior "box" before the "horn" to gain some experience and confidence. It is much easier to correct mistakes here than on the horn parts. Once you start, you should find that the build is much easier than you are anticipating.

If memory serves me, I need at least an hour to put on together I think I can find the time to start building at least 1 of the 2 cabs today. I don’t have the plans in front of me but isn’t there a step down the road were I will have to remove the side panels for something?

Sorry for all the dumb questions I’m just kinda paranoid about making mistakes.

Here is what I got done today.

Not perfect but not bad for my first build. Feedback appreciated!

Looking good so far
The WH10 always surprises me, they're much larger than a WH8...

Thank you Grant!

They're only as large as they need to be to go as low as they go.

Those look damn good for anyone's build, let alone a first build! They look great. Keep it up!

A Big +1!!! They look great so far, TheCesar! Take your time, work each step in your head before you work the wood. Was that part of the build difficult for you?

The next one I build will be a WH10 Lite, that's for sure.

Thank you, not to hard a few parts were kinda tricky, the first box did take me at least an hour and a half, the second box went way faster, around 40/45 minutes.

Hello,

Last night i finished my first horn I think it turned out Ok, I should be done with the 2nd one today. I'll post pictures once I have both horns done.

I’m planning on ordering Duratex in a few days, it's kinda spendy would 1 gallon be sufficient to do both of my WH10's?

Yes, I put 2 coats on 2-T39s, 2- OT12s and 4 WH8s. I have 1/3 gallon left.
