[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 4345155, member: 570419"] Just as an observation, I noticed that the baffle and sides are not equal lengths. Even though it works out because the top and bottom are shortened, I think it's safer to have all the height pieces the same size so that they can be cut with the same guide setting. That way, you won't have to worry about your sides cut being exactly 12.5" or you don't have to worry about the wood being slightly thicker or thinner than .75". It's something I do to make sure the top always sits on evenly and doesn't have gaps. It would be better to have excess or a gap on the base so then you have only a slight amount of wood hanging over from a side panel or you have a slight amount of overhang from the base. Those can easily be sanded down but it's more difficult to fix a gap due to one panel being too big or small. Sketchup and it's free to download and explore. [/QUOTE]
