Thumbnail for initial mockup, my photoshop skill are severely lacking
Thumbnail for The girlfriend helping me pick plywood, she never got angry at me even once. I don't deserve her!
Thumbnail for The tweeter is kinda ugly in most of the pictures on the internet. It's actually pretty good looking in person, and the grill protecting the beryllium is probably a good idea!
Thumbnail for The SB23MFCL is stupidly heavy woofer. I was straining to hold it in this shot.
Thumbnail for After cutting all the braces and pieces using the same saw settings to get everything as perfect as possible. The pieces were carefully chosen to keep the grain continuous. The brace positions were marked on the side and rverything getting glued up and pin nailed to help keep things lined up.
Thumbnail for The vertical mid cab piece glued in.
Thumbnail for The mitered tops getting placed in, a careful balance of clamp pressure and weights.
Thumbnail for The continuous grain i mentioned earlier.
Thumbnail for The back glued in place. The veneer on this is mahogany so stained to match, but after rethinking it, I'm going to paint the back black. The rear will get flush cut with a router later
Thumbnail for The front baffle was tricky business. At this point I can't cut the woofer holes in the front part of the baffle, as I wouldn't have enough material for a router bit bearing when routing the profile for the hardwood edges. But I couldn't chamfer the rear of the driver hole if I cut the hole after it's all glue together. So here is the woofer being test fit in the rear baffle piece!
Thumbnail for The front piece of the front baffle! The holes drilled from the back to drop in the grill magnets, about 1mm back from the front surface! Additionally the slot is cut in both pieces of the front baffle. I just layed them in place and used a flush cut trim bit with a router to get them exact.
Thumbnail for Doweling glued in, to hold the grill magnets in place.
