Scott Madin

…it is also possible I'm making my life harder than it needs to be with those corner joints, but what's the point of a project like this if you just do everything the easiest way, anyway?

I'm going to need another couple of TS jacks (I'm inclined to use 1/4" but I'm not sure it's necessary? 1/8" might be fine) and a patch cable, for connecting the amp boards to the speaker; and a 12V wall wart and socket for it, and some extra wire.

Since I'll need to visit my folks and use my dad's tablesaw for this project, if I do the internal frame I'll have to wait for the 1st of June (or maybe the 1st of July) to cut the four vertical pieces.

"why the first of the month, Scott?" Well, because those ends are double-rabbeted, of course.

Also, I'm going to have to think about the clamping situation. I don't know if my dad has pipe clamps or just C-clamps.

Maybe I should make a papercraft 1/4 scale model to make sure the whole design works

on the other hand, those double rabbets might be hell to model at that scale. the good thing about the frame idea is that if I can get four boards across out of that 1x6, I only need about 38" of length, so I can fuck one up and still have plenty of material to do another.
