thanks for the responces. Yeah, im going in on this project with a friend and his dad is a pretty experienced wood worker, although id still like to do as much as i can.chillhuman wrote:Spire,
I am in the middle of a DR200 build. They are not simple. I spend a lot of time scratching my head, reading that section of the plans, flipping ahead to see how it all fits together, and rereading that section of the plans. I have just finished the horn / baffle part. Based on the plans, it looks like the most difficult part of the build. However, when I set them on a flat surface, they sit flush and tilt just like they ought to. So far I am about 12 hours into it and have just finished milestone 1. I (and this is just me now!) would not attempt to build these cabs without a panel cutting jig and a table saw, however. Even though the plans say it can be done, I think it would take a very skilled craftsman to build DR200's with a circular saw and end up w/ all 10 fingers in the end. <b>However</b>, please don't let me discourage you. Patience, and measuring 3 times, and reading the plans and visualizing before you cut will lead you to success.
I have built the T39 (x2) which sound awesome. The omnitop plans look like the same degree of difficulty and were a build that I could handle for my first really difficult woodworking project.
also, could anyone comment on the build cost of a DR200? First we're building 2 T30's, then later probably 2 more and 4 DR200's.
