[QUOTE="hempy, post: 6591878, member: 571956"] I finally got back out to the garage today. I ran out of smokables last week and haven't really wanted to work on it. I guess I know where my inspiration comes from now =P I dry-fit the trunk, base, and pods to make sure everything lined up right, and it turns out that the whole thing feels pretty solid with screws alone. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2571.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2570.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2572.jpg[/IMG] I also started on the blocks to hold the backs on the pods. I used some more of the oak that I used in the base, and rounded over the inside edges and cut off just enough of the outer edges to match the contour of the pods. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2567.jpg[/IMG] The first ones I cut were just slices of this shape, and after getting them all glued in, I found out that the drivers weren't able to clear them. Luckily it wasn't very hard to snap them out, and I sanded down the glue that was still left. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2568.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2574.jpg[/IMG] After this I decided to cut the new ones at an angle, and although they were a bit more difficult to clamp, they worked out and the drivers slipped right in. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2576.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2580.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/hempness/IMG_2577.jpg[/IMG] I traced the blocks on the inside of the back panels and drilled out the screw holes. I'll use those hole to drill out the blocks once I'm sure they are dry and solid, and I'll countersink the holes on the back of the panel. Once those are done, it'll be time for bondo! But that's all I've got for tonight. [/QUOTE]
