Those fabric sides are very cool - I wonder why no one every thought of that before.

I had put some text in the comment section on rack pic but seems it did t make it onto the post.
The cabinets are veneered in walnut, coated with danish oil in dark walnut. The speaker grills are magnetic and I saw somewhere in the past were someone else had placed magnets on the sides of theirs so the grills can store there if wanted.
Thanks for all the positive comments.

Got my Desktop Mini speakers finished. Overall I’m happy with the finish.
Really wanted a mat to satin finish but my finishing skills weren’t up to the task. So out came the 3000, 5000 grit sandpaper and polisher used on the car.
Think I’m going to redo this speaker grill cloth. I can get it to fit cleaner and better corners.
Now for the break in and listening.

There's a lot of beautiful craftsmanship in this thread! Great design ideas, and, I am sure, spectacular sound!

First build. Glad to see my amp did not go up in smoke when I plugged in. Made of curly maple lumber.

XSLS cabinets waiting for the goodies.
Long time reader, first time poster. Also first speaker build.
Sorry I don't have many build pics, but I added what I had. I live in a tiny city apartment, built everything in the garage on my smallish workbench and all of the clamps I had. The first 'complete' photo are the speakers unfinished. the boxes are wrapped in Curly Maple Veneer with two coats Pure Rubio Monocoat. Its pretty amazing how the Rubio makes the Maple pop while not adding too much color. I tried like 10 different finishing options on little sample boards, so pumped how they came out.
Fully lined with no-rez and the bottom chambers are filled with sand....these things are super heavy.
I'm currently using the cases to support my Kplisch rp600s which were in sore need of an upgrade.

Very very nice. So you used a single sheet of veneer wrapped around those rounded edges?
What adhesive did you use? Are the backs veneered as well.

Thanks!
They are both wrapped from a single 4x8 sheet. The backs are Veneered also. I used this glue called heatlock(you can get it from veneering supplies.com You apply it to both surfaces with a roller then iron it together.
I used a 1/2in round over bit on the front so that the 'front' three sides are a single sheet of veneer. kinda gives it a more natural look and removes the most visible seam.
Cheers!
