First box build log

[shredder2]

I built this several months back with @shredder2 help. Only had a skill saw and a router for the edges/roundovers. Was my first time alsoView attachment 18308

Yes, but you did all the labor man... And that ^^^^ is a pretty good job doing it.
Crap ... all I did was point and click... lol

Omg... this thread
Op... sounds like your almost done now and then this...

Not butt hurt. Just have to start over.

Made a hole that was tuuurible

 

[danielbea122]

Then kinda figured out

Now I need a better design, table saw and maybe a router with a guide for the holes.

Maybe you can save that, slap another piece over the entire front then cut out the mounting holes better and the port.
Id at least try.
Or rebuild... Practice makes perfect.

You're right that'll work.

Glad I got my feet wet with cheaper mdf board. Almost bought birch but thought better of it

Just use a scrap piece with 2 screws a radius apart, run one screw in a bit where you marked center and use the other to scribe a circle. Afterwards just darken the scribe mark with a pencil so you can see it easily, drill a hole inside the marked circle big enough for the blade and then cut carefully and slowly.
Ghetto protractor...

That second hole was done using a version of the ghetto protractor lol

Just went too small

You need to think things through and use your brain. You don't sound retarded, so when you catch yourself doing stupid shit take a step back and think of a better way to do it. Seriously, join a tampa car audio group or something and ask someone to help you.

 

[danielbea122]

I had to try and now I know I can't do it.

I did everything else so far with help from you guys so I figured I'd give it a shot.
