As previously posted in Another newbie,I embarked on a winter project to maintain my sanity during what seemed to be an unusually long winter. I wanted to build a pair of front speakers for my home theater system. I wanted a pair of speakers that would be good for listening to 2 channel music and also had to be visually appealing to my better half of 24yrs.Additional pictures of the build can been see in "Another newbie" thread.
Concept,
Layout,
Installed arborite(plastic laminate) on the fronts and prepped the cabinets for the 3/4" solid cherry sides.
Laminating process,
Rough after glue-up,
Sides and top after initial sanding,
Finishing the feet,
Stained with the feet attached,
Prepping the grills,
Showing the backs,
Spraying the finish, 2 coats of sealer, 3 coats lacquer,
The finished pair,
With the grill cloth,
Finally back at home,
Mission Accomplished,
I hope I posted enough pictures of the process...Mark
Pssst...golfing is just around the corner:yay:
