RC-5G construction
The main box glued
Putting some Sonic Barrier Acoustic Foam on before assembly - I highly recommend doing this before assembly
Moradillo cut into 1" x 1" strips for the front baffle - The board of Moradillo was 1" thick already and a perfect match for the 1" MDF baffle I was building. Sanding made it perfectly flush once assembled.
The raw wood before cutting and a picture of the Moradillo to be used for the baffle
Speaker double refined MDF. - 2 sheets of 3/4" and 1 sheet of 1" MDF (4 x 8' sheets) was enough to finish the speaker. I had them cut in half for easy transport
Flush trimming the 1/8" overhand of the hardwood trim flush to the sides of the speaker
An RC-5G ready to veneer
Sealing the cracks with wood filler, then sanding them down.
The front baffles finished and ready to mount
Clamping and gluing, also using a Bradley nail gun. - I glued the wood and clamped it. Then I used a bradley nail gun to shoot nails into the wood to hold it, let the glue set for a few more minutes and unclamped. This probably saved at least a day of waiting for glue to dry. With the glue and bradley nails these speakers are really solid.
Pau Ferro bookmatched and ready to press - I bought the veneering starter kit from www.joewoodworker.com and used the hand saw from that kit to make the seams. Had to route a board with a guide to make a near perfect strait edge. I placed that routed board on top of the pau ferro and cut the wood. This works pretty well, though I still need practice as not all edges came out perfect and seamed together as tight as I wanted.
The veneer being pressed to the speaker. - I used the Project: V2 - Venturi Based Model (Using an air compressor) kit from joe woodwooker and a 4' x 6' 60 mil vinyl bag from www.joewoodworker.com.
