Woodworking

Time to have some fun with MDF and tools!

MDF sheet didn't fit into my car so I had to cut it in store. Both Lowes and Home Depo have the same crappy saws and I was afraid they can't cut it precise enough. Well, I ws absolutely right.
Thanks my colleague Mike - he has a table saw and he helped me to trim all the pieces to be the same width.

After I had all the pieces cut and holes routed I could start to glue it all together. I decided not to use any screws because if I veneer it later screw heads can be visible even covered with putty.


Don't think I would make a sandwich like this next time. It is really hard to position parts right



Drivers fit pretty well:

I'm going to reassemble speakers many times so I put some effort and used t-nuts. I like the result.

By the way, Harbor Freight clamps did the job but I would not recommend them for any professional work. They are very cheaply made, but no one can beat the price.
