1 x 8" cab build

[jeremyb]

Also designed and 3d printed a speaker jack plate, as the one I got from jaycar I couldn’t get black screws small enough to fit…

Wizard of box you are

Still got a long way to get to BG's level, not that I'm trying to... this might be the last cab I build

You're doing well buddy, and I'm sure its just a bedroom cab so vinyl should be fine, unless its a piece of bedroom furniture that gets well used....

I get by on the bear minimum of tools. Sawbench, 3 routers, router table, 2 dovetail jigs, sliding mitre saw, air stapler, many clamps and a shitload of hand tools, I do have a heat gun but rarely use it - after overheating a piece of grill cloth, I very rarely use it.

Over the course of many cabs, I'm still learning how to fix mistakes. If I could put corners on everything it would speed the process a lot I should start charging extra for no corners.

[jeremyb]

Corners are ridiculous, was in for $50 for a set… going to 3d print some instead

I think until you actually try to build one you have no idea of the cost in tools and materials to make one, let alone time!!

Of course they are... I make roughly the price of 1 KFC per cab I make.

Yeah if it wasn’t for the fact I need to be making physical stuff with my hands for my mental healths sake I would definitely just buy one!!

Thats why I do it... things will need to change when we move to Nelson though, I want to start ramping down from the mental taxing stuff.

Wired up and the back on, handle, feet, and speaker grille next.

You may want some more screws in the back panel, doesn't look very secure.

(actually looks very impressive)

did I mention I tend to over engineer things? the back is such a tight fit I added those loops of ribbon to help pull it out, hopefully won't need to take it off...

[jeremyb]

And then it was done!

[codedog]

Are you going to put a badge on it?

[jeremyb]

Are you going to put a badge on it?

Potentially, will have to sleep on that one

That will be uncomfortable!
