So I was thinking at work...

Shipping is going to be a *****, for any decent sized box. But hell, I wouldnt mind paying ~$50 for some properly cut wood that all I had to do is screw n glue //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

same here, im getting good with a skill saw but wood cut with your saw would be a dream come true

the shipping is going to be the problem... aside from costing a lot, what happens when they F up the wood?

If he can package it properly, with some protection in each cornet, then i dont see a possibility of them damaging the pieces.

two interested already... you might be onto something. it'll be hard to ship it ups/fedex proof.

protect each corner if you want... I'm sure the shipping weight of the pieces will be 40lbs+ one drop and it's over, especially if it lands on a corner... w/ protection. but you never know, ups/fedex may ship w/ care //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

DHL seems to be a lil better with packages then the other 2

I have a cabinet shop here do mine. $50 cash cut up to my specs, I use a cutlist program. I fax them the list and go pick up the wood the next day.

$50 for wood and cuts and I keep the drops. Expensive, but accurate. I have issues since my table saw only has a 21" fence. SOME boxes need wood in the no-man's land for a cheapy saw.

Nothing beats clean, square cuts.

No... your wrong... I can guarentee that nothing would happen to the edges of the pieces.... Trust me on that...

Hmm so I guess I could sell pre- cut boxes from Mo-lesters' plans that the buyer would have to assemble on ebay... Buy it now at like $65.00 Shipped starting bids at like $1.00 I already have 100% on ebay with 25 ppl... the mouse keeps on a runin... If any one is interested shoot me a pm I guess.

That actually sounds reasonable to me... Considering the employee who is running the saw makes anywhere between $8.50 and 35-50 bucks per hour, plus you get material and drops which is a good thing.. I was thinking though that I could also cut the hole cut outs for the subs and ports (if they used aero ports) also could round over edges of slot ports on the face piece.

sounds like an awesome buisness, there are always college students who want cutsom boxes but cant afford tools and dont have a large place to work.

lets say it costed $50 tops after shipping, i bet lots of people would be on it. specially if you got somone to make the designs per-speaker basis for them included.

cutting speaker holes and rounding corners is also a great idea too, even if its an extra $5

Home Depot needs one of those things.

I forget what they called the router at the shop. It is accurate to .001 of an inch. You just tell them where you want the cutout. The drawback was the $15 a hole and I found out they were UNDERCHARGING ME. I just use a jasper jig now.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
