Test build with blu tak...

ok i built the other stand box - possibly used a bit too much glue which oozed out but i wiped it up with a damp sponge as much as i could and they are going to be painted anyway so shouldn't matter - i'm just being fussy there's only a slight discolouration visible now. changed the method a little in that i wood glued all the bits in place first allowing me to get things just right before hot gluing the woodblocks in place. this seemed to be a lot easier to manage without the struggle i had yesterday to get the side pieces in.

i also tried a test build of the main cabinets. i've used blutak to keep the panels in place. one thing i can forsee as being troublesome is getting everything perfectly vertical (plumb?) any tips other than 'use one of those right angle whotsits' much aprieciated.

so some pics then...

here you can see the test build with the transmission line inside, the 2 stands stacked on top of each other with a dumbell on top and the bottom of my weight bench.

here's a pic from the 'front' of the speaker.

i'll probably put the carcass together tomorrow afternoon so things'll probably look like they are going backwards for a while as i'll have to leave the transmission line dividers and the deflectors until the carcass glue is dry.

keep the tips and encouragement comming....

cheers

julian.
