I love your build videos on YouTube. Thank you so much.
I just ordered my flatpack for you yesterday and am getting ready to put everything together. In your assembly videos you use clamps. I don't have any clamps that are that big. I see that you used masking tape in these assembly pictures.
Can you compare and contrast the results using tape vs. clamps?
My assumption when I designed this was that you'd have clamps, a router with flush trimming and likely a profile cutter. Using tape would be an exercise in frustration, I'm sure. Just not enough clamping pressure to get the job done. The top and bottom are sized to be a snug fit...you'll see when you get the flat pack. Do it the way I show in video and you're golden.
Dry assemble, dry assemble, dry assemble. Don't forget to dry assemble and have a game plan. The markings you'll see on various parts are there for a reason...
Beg, borrow, purchase clamps and be a happy speaker builder. The masking tape you saw in photos was to glue corner pieces in. Cabinet was assembled at that point. There is a place for masking tape in the glue up world, but this ain't it!
