Lol....I bet that was a pain in the arse 🤣🤣 Actually once I sussed out the template it wasn't too bad. Not as fiddly as having to make 8 precise (or not!!) cuts per sodding driver hole 😡 Anyway I can tidy those holes up I reckon before veneering. |

um, fitting the drivers, gluing front and back, making some plinths for a base to put in the xovers, veneering and finishing with oil/wax. Persuading swmbo that they will suit the front room....🙂 It should be over by Christmas!  |

Done they are. Bolt the drivers in solder on the xover leads, put the ports in and your ready to go. Never mind all this sanding and staining business, leave them as they are. How else will people know you made them yourself? They'll just think you won the pools and treated yourself - and anyone can do that.  |
