Happy Saturday to all....
So the next next milestone was reach late this afternoon.
After a day filled with MDF and expletives, I finally got to what you see in the image....
The shape is spot on what I was looking for, and I wanted the Walsh driver to sit flush (ish) with the top surface of the cabinet so you can't see all the bolts. I am still thinking about welding up a metal fence contraption with some Damascus steel unless I change my mind.
As you can see I started the holes for the passive woofer but realized that a router bit can only plunge that deep. I tried my trusty jigsaw, but that didn't reach deep enough so I got to get a sawsall in the morning. Yes the sidewall is over 3" deep
at most points, so a longer blade will solve that problem.
Next week I'm starting the housing and standoff for the ribbon tweeter. I'm thinking CNC machined aluminum, CF and some hi tech looking bolts to allow the housing to move in any axis. And I might change my my mind on that one too. But I promise it will look killer when I'm done...
