Faceplates are clear coated, copperleaf is done, maybe some touchups in daylight.
Tomorrow, final clearcoat, or, depending on the daylight look, i may darken the copper with some ruby shellac.
All in all a messy process.. looked like i was assembling satelites for Nasa #diy #hifi #proofofwork
Boxes are closed and trimmed.
Routing the speaker holes comes next. #diy #hifi #proofofwork
I planned on getting continuous grain from the front to the top and naturally messed one up.. but they will sit on the top shelf, so noone will see it
Today i brought the planer to the fiatmine, to clean up the plywood faceplates of the speakers, and do a little test fit. Tomorrow we’ll close the boxes up! #diy #hifi #proofofwork
A pair of speakers i built nearly 20 years ago get a new housing to fit a shorter bookshelf. For this the passive radiator needs to move from the back to the side. Today i glued up the faceplate from Plywood strips. #diy #hifi #proofofwork
